The son of U.S. senator and former vice presidential candidate Tim Kaine made his first court appearance Tuesday on allegations he was among a group of protesters who disrupted a rally in support of President Donald Trump at the Minnesota State Capitol in March.
Linwood “Woody” Kaine stood with his hands clasped behind his back while his attorney, John Michael Barham, addressed the judge during the brief hearing in Ramsey County District Court.
The parties quickly agreed on a date for Kaine’s next court appearance before the judge excused them.
The 25-year-old had his long hair pulled back into a ponytail and wore a denim shirt and black pants.
In addition to his lawyer, he was accompanied by a young man and woman who sat next to him in the back of the courtroom while he waited for his case to be called.
Kaine has yet to enter a plea in his case.
While his father — Hillary Clinton’s running mate in the 2016 presidential race — serves as a politician in Virginia, Kaine lives in Minneapolis, according to court records. Trump defeated Clinton in the November elections.
He was among eight people charged following the March 4 rally at the State Capitol. Police say the rally was disrupted when a small group of people wearing black clothing and goggles began setting off smoke bombs and fireworks and spraying Mace in some Trump supporters’ faces.
Security officers saw five people dressed in black leaving the Capitol, including one who threw a smoke bomb inside, according to complaints filed by the city attorney’s office. The five went to a nearby spot and “tried to change their appearance by doing things like taking off their black clothing, putting on different jackets or hats, and turning their clothing inside out,” the complaints said.
When police approached, they scattered and ran. Steve Frazer, who was then a St. Paul police senior commander, chased a man who was later identified as Kaine.
Kaine was later charged with obstructing the legal process, a gross misdemeanor, as well as concealing his identity in a public place and fleeing a police officer. Both of the latter charges are misdemeanors.
Two others were charged with felonies for allegedly spraying Mace and using a stun gun and tear gas at the rally. One other was charged with a gross misdemeanor. The remaining four implicated face misdemeanor-level offenses.
Kaine’s next court appearance is scheduled for Oct. 16.
Typical entitled politician-son-privileged LIB idiot.
I am surprised it has gotten this far. I thought daddy would by now have put a end to this via favors.
Appropriate son of a dhimmicrat VP candidate. No surprise.
Clown Kaine, has a son !?
aren’t most of these ANTIFA types? Most are over 25 or even 30 years old. Clearly they have nothing to worry about losing or have to work hard. A lot of entrenched into the University system, which is another protective safe space. They really never had to deal with any kind of struggle or learn how to get along in the real world outside their little bubble.
Spoiled, arrogant jackasses.
“Fat drunk and stupid is no way to go thru life son”
Could be worse. He could be a Kennedy.
Didn’t he pull the old “don’t you know who I am” manuver????
Red doper diaper dope
Hey, Barham! Criminal Defense 101. Clean up your client before you go to court.
The 25-year-old had his long hair pulled back into a ponytail and wore a denim shirt and black pants.
Im sure the judge was quite impressed
The apple didn’t fall far from the tree, did it?
The Leftards have been loudly boasting that they stand for “freedom of speech” for the NFL kneelers. Of course, Leftards don’t stand for any freedoms of people they disagree with. Vile hypocrites, all of them.
I’m surprised his defense wasn’t to blame Donald Trump for it. His father uses that excuse all the time.
THUG
The pedo clown has a son named “Woody”. No wonder he is so angry. It must be tough going through life as a punch line.
