noting that “a burglar of a dwelling risks having to use force if the occupants are home and hear the burglar”
holding that defendant's conviction for reckless endangering was a crime of violence under the second prong of the career offender guideline, § 4B1.2(a)(2), because the second prong of that guideline focuses on conduct rather than intent to use force
noting that “a burglar of a dwelling risks having to use force if the occupants are home and hear the burglar”
indicating that “use of physical force” refers to an intentional act, and that although a drunk driver may risk causing injury, in most cases he does not intend to “use” force to cause this harm
suggesting, in dicta, that section 16(b) requires a willingness to risk having to commit a crime of specific intent
noting displeasure with the Commission’s broad definition of “crime of violence” which included possible unintentional uses of force when the original congressional definition excluded such crimes
