Because setting off fireworks inside the capitol and hitting a woman in the head are some of the proud ‘views’ that Democrats want to share…
ST. PAUL—The youngest son of U.S. Sen. Tim Kaine, Hillary Clinton’s 2016 running mate, was one of six people arrested Saturday after counter-protesters disrupted a rally in support of President Donald Trump at the Minnesota State Capitol.
Linwood Michael Kaine, 24, and four others were arrested on suspicion of second-degree riot after the “March 4 Trump” rally in St. Paul; a sixth person was cited for disorderly conduct. Counter-protesters clashed with Trump supporters in the Capitol rotunda after they attempted to disrupt the proceedings with air horns, whistles and chants. At one point, someone set off a smoke bomb.
Linwood Kaine, a Carleton College graduate who lives in Minneapolis and goes by “Woody,” was released from the Ramsey County jail on Tuesday morning pending further investigation, law enforcement officials said.
No charges were filed against him or the four other people who were arrested by St. Paul police.
St. Paul City Attorney Samuel Clark is reviewing the case for possible misdemeanor charges.
A voice-mail message left Tuesday night for Linwood Kaine was not returned.
Virginia Sen. Tim Kaine, a St. Paul native, released a Tuesday night statement through a spokesperson to the Pioneer Press.
“We love that our three children have their own views and concerns about current political issues,” he said. “They fully understand the responsibility to express those concerns peacefully.”
Woody Kaine is one of three children of Tim Kaine and his wife, Anne Houlton. An older son, Nat, a Marine serving overseas, was more visible during the presidential campaign. The couple also has a daughter, Anella.
On Saturday afternoon, several hundred Trump supporters showed up at the Capitol for a permitted rally billed as the “March 4 Trump,” one of several held around the country.
The Minnesota State Patrol estimated the crowds at 400 Trump supporters and 50 counter-demonstrators.
Speeches had been going on for about a half-hour inside the newly remodeled Capitol rotunda when a group of people tried to disrupt the event. At one point, someone set off a smoke bomb—apparently striking a woman in the head, police said.
Woody Kaine apparently did ‘art pieces’ while in college. Here’s part of a comment he made on one of his works that was displayed in the Weitz Center at Carleton College. The piece was about ‘natural/unatural’ in the environment.
Another dynamic at work in this scheduling is the connection between experience of the natural and socioeconomic privilege, as after 9:00 pm only people with a Carleton ID may enter the Weitz. This leads to a situation where only those privileged enough to attend this pricey liberal arts college are privy to this rendering of the natural. This reflects a larger trend that I find very concerning, in which experience of the natural world is increasingly restricted to a privileged few.
Doesn’t he sound like the perfect radical social justice warrior?
How dare the school deny the great unwashed public from coming in to see his seminal work by requiring that people have ID to get into a building after 9 p.m.?
