Part 2. Example
Drapeau's cohorts, the cohort would be a "victim" of making the bomb. Further, firebombs are inherently dangerous. There is no peaceful purpose for making a bomb. Felony offenses that involve explosives qualify as "violent crimes" for purposes of enhancing the sentences of career offenders. See 18 U.S.C. 924(e)(2)(B)(ii) (defining a "violent felony" as: "any crime punishable by imprisonment for a term exceeding one year ... that ... involves use of explosives"). Courts have found possession of a'bomb to be a crime of violence based on the lack of a nonviolent purpose for a bomb and the fact that, by its very nature, there is a substantial risk that the bomb would be used against the person or property of another. See United States v. Newman, 125 F.3d 863 (10th Cir.1997) (unpublished) (<HOLDING>); United States v. Dodge, 846 F.Supp. 181,, Holding statements: (A) holding that possession of a pipe bomb is a crime of violence for purposes of 18 usc 3142f1 (B) holding that bank robbery by force and violence or intimidation under 18 usc 2113a is a crime of violence (C) holding that sexual assault of a child qualified as crime of violence under 18 usc 16 (D) holding for the purposes of 18 usc 924e that being a felon in possession of a firearm is not a violent felony as defined in 18 usc 924e2b (E) holding that a court must only look to the statutory definition not the underlying circumstances of the crime to determine whether a given offense is by its nature a crime of violence for purposes of 18 usc 16

There is no evidence that Hawkeye sought a customer list in the possession of FMS. Rather, Hawkeye merely compiled such a list from its own records; after all, FMS's clients were originally bank customers and were referred to FMS by the Hawkeye banks. There is nothing improper about Hawkeye using information in its own files for purposes of soliciting business. See Burke, 474 N.W.2d at 113 (citing Ballagh v. Polk-Warren Mut. Ins. Ass'n, 257 Iowa 1334, 1343, 136 N.W.2d 496, 501 (1965)); cf. Lemmon v. Hendrickson, 559 N.W.2d 278, 280-81 (Iowa 1997) (<HOLDING>). With respect to Hawkeye's use of "FMS
