Teacher: Now, understand the problem? Solve this instance: of burglary by itself was excluded as a crime of violence was dictum, and that "the crime of burglary has always been and continues to be viewed as a crime involving the use or threat of violence to the person." Id. at 15, 549 A.2d at 559. The principal reason offered for this holding was the observation that "[e]very ... burglar knows when he attempts to commit his crime that he is inviting dangerous resistance.... It is this threat of violence to persons that has prompted the Legislature into expanding the definition of burglary to include all those entries without privilege into places where people might be present." Id. at 14, 549 A.2d at 559. This Court's subsequent holdings have consistently followed Rolan. See Commonwealth v. Collins, 549 Pa. 593, 606, 702 A.2d 540, 546 (1997)(<HOLDING>); Commonwealth v. Bracey, 541 Pa. 322, 349 n.
