Bill Dahn asked me to post this.

Summary:

Section 3631 of Title 42 makes it unlawful for an individual to use force or threaten to use force to injure, intimidate, or interfere with, or attempt to injure, intimidate, or interfere with, any person's housing rights because of that person's race, color, religion, sex, handicap, familial status or national origin. Among those housing rights enumerated in the statute are:

The sale, purchase, or renting of a dwelling
The occupation of dwelling
The financing of a dwelling
Contracting or negotiating for any of the rights enumerated above
Applying for or participating in any service, organizations, or facility relating to the sale or rental of dwellings.
This statute also makes it unlawful to use force or threaten to use force to injure, intimidate, or interfere with any person who is assisting an individual or class of persons in the exercise of their housing rights.

The offense is punishable by a range of imprisonment up to a life term, depending upon the circumstances of the crime, and the resulting injury, if any.

And the word force does not mean just physical force as many believe. The force of law and its misuse is the same as physical force. And when it is done by government officials in the way the City of St. Paul did it, the "Hobbs Act" comes into play. Are you reading this St. Paul? Some of you are going to prison.

What did Christopher Coleman do, or not do.
He is one of them lawyers.
He went to college, just to learn how to lie and bluff, better then the next guy.
What the Hell are they doing, taking from the poor.
Are they giving benefits to their friends, by giving them the contracts for city work.

If some people are treated like Kings, and the others are treated like DOGS.
It shows that, not all people are treated fairly.
If you belong to some click, you will get the best treatment from the city.

12:45 I will get along with you, go get a joint and some beer and we'll morph off into googoo land and we'll laugh at everyone else putting forth effort in living a decent life. Ha, it would be great, we won't bathe or brush our teeth too. As usual, we will just let the government tell us what to do to, because we can't ever stand up to anything because the reefer dulls our senses, but we don't care. All we are saying is give peace a chance!!! Yah, the was right on dude, is the world too hard for you too? Well don't worry because the government has free money for you too! Isn't that great all you have to do is be declared incompetent and you will get a check every month without having to work or get involved in all the unpleasantries in the world, now you can handle that can't you?
