Sen. Kaine's son arrested at Trump rally

Linwood M. Kaine, 24, along with four other alleged thugs, were arrested at the "March 4 Trump" rally in St. Paul, Minn. on suspicion of second-degree rioting. Another person was cited for disorderly conduct.

Kaine is the son of former Vice Presidential candidate, Sen. Tim Kaine.

Kaine was released from the Ramsey County Jail Tuesday pending further investigation. Currently, no charges were filed against him, and because of who his father is, it's doubtful that any charges will be filed. The city attorney is reviewing the incident.

Kaine got into a fight between Trump supporters and counter-protesters, St. Paul police spokesman Steve Linders said, and that Kaine was seen with four people who lit fireworks in the capitol and ran like thieves in the night. Police are investigating to determine if the alleged anarchist/fascist lit a firework.

Kaine and the others were arrested a block from the capitol. The police tracked Kaine and the group down and the arresting officer had to use "some force" to take him into custody, Linders said.

Sen. Kaine's office remained close-mouthed, but Sen. Kaine released a statement to Pioneer Press on Tuesday.

"We love that our three children have their own views and concerns about current political issues. They fully understand the responsibility to express those concerns peacefully."

 That's just wonderful. Don't debate--intimidate.
