BY PATRICK WILSON Richmond Times-Dispatch 1 hr ago

The youngest son of Sen. Tim Kaine, D-Va., was sentenced to a year of probation and ordered to pay $236 in fines and fees for his role in disrupting a Minnesota rally in support of President Donald Trump.

About 400 people attended the Trump rally March 4 at the Minnesota state Capitol in St. Paul, and about 75 to 125 counterprotesters arrived, according to criminal complaints. A smoke bomb was thrown inside the capitol and several people were arrested.

Linwood Michael "Woody" Kaine, 25, of Minneapolis, was arrested outside the Capitol and later charged with three misdemeanors.

Two of them - concealing identity and fleeing a peace officer by means other than a motor vehicle - were dismissed Dec. 11, according to online court records for Ramsey County, Minn. Kaine pleaded guilty to obstructing legal process/interfering with a peace officer.

Nothing to be more proud of than standing up to this authoritarian prick.

so the Trumpsters knew counter protesters would come there. They wanted a conflict otherwise they would have chosen a more conservative location outside the twin cities.
