            Subd. 2. Prohibition. (a) A place of public accommodation may not restrict access, admission, or usage to a person solely because the person operates a motorcycle or is wearing clothing that displays the name of an organization or association.
        (b) This subdivision does not prohibit the restriction of access, admission, or usage to a person because:
        (1) the person's conduct poses a risk to the health or safety of another or to the property of another; or

      • 609.229 CRIME COMMITTED FOR BENEFIT OF A GANG.
            Subdivision 1. Definition.
    • Minnesota Statute 363A.11 makes it a crime to deny the full and equal enjoyment of any public place of accommodation due to unfair and unconstitutional discriminatory activity.
      In addition, any person whose exercise or enjoyment of rights secured by the Constitution or laws of the United States has been interfered with, or attempted to be interfered with may institute and prosecute a civil action for injunctive and other appropriate equitable relief, including the award of compensatory monetary damages. In the case of Cohen v. California 403 U.S. 15 (1971), the Supreme Court ruled that individuals have the constitutional right under the First Amendment, to wear clothing which displays writing or designs. A citizen has the right to move about freely and peaceably in public places, without fear of being indiscriminately removed therefrom. In addition, the right of an individual to freedom of association has long been recognized and protected by the United States Supreme Court thus, a person's right to wear the clothing of his choice, as well as his right to belong to any club or organization of his choice is constitutionally protected, and persons or establishments who discriminate on the basis of clothing or club membership are subject to lawsuit.

Most states set the penalty for an adult who rapes a child at twenty years plus -- UNLESS that adult happens to be related to the child -- in which case the maximum sentence is PROBATION. There is legislation now pending in Congress to change all this. Check out Care Act.org; your support will make a difference! IF YOU CARE, ACT!
