Linwood Michael Kaine, a son of Virginia senator and former vice presidential candidate Tim Kaine, faces misdemeanor charges in Minnesota after an incident at a pro-Donald Trump rally in March.

Kaine, 24, was charged Friday by prosecutors in St. Paul with fleeing on foot, concealing identity in a public place, and obstructing the legal process by interfering with a peace officer.

The obstruction charge is a gross misdemeanor, which carries a possible sentence of up to one year in prison and a fine of as much as $3,000.

Kaine was among counterprotesters inside the state Capitol's rotunda shortly after the "March 4 Trump" rally. "Some of the counter-demonstrators, equipped with face and head coverings and goggles, broke away and attempted to enter the rally from the second floor staircase by pushing and shoving," a news release from Ramsey County Attorney John Choi said. "During the disturbance, they employed smoke bombs, mace and fireworks, thereby creating a chaotic and dangerous situation."

One of the charges against Linwood was concealing his identity in a public place.

That's a crime?

He was just following Hillary’s advice about not being civil to Republicans.

The rotten apple didn’t fall far from the tree. This will follow him the rest of his life. He will forever more be known as a trouble making criminal element. Good luck finding a job with that label.

In some places, concealing ones identity to avoid being recognized, is a crime. It may have to be linked with doing criminal things which this group of “protesters” (rioters? vandals?) certainly were doing. It is probably difficult to tell which person was doing which criminal act because of the similar all black clothing including face coverings.

One slap on the wrist coming up - I doubt the son of a former VP candidate will see any prison time, maybe some nominal fine. And the conviction will do wonders for his angry-radical cred.

One son’s a Marine and on deployment. The other son’s a loser and is probably on unemployment.

Sen. Kaine is a flake and lightweight idiot, the perfect person to be one of our state’s US Senators. The other is lighterweight, mental midget Mark Warner whose incoherence is only matched by the smarter Foster Brooks, the comedian.

Click bait. You should've warned us with a bracketed phrase in the thread title. That said, I appreciate the strategy since the stakes on 11/6 are so high.

BTW when's VA's early voting period (if any)?
