And yet the DA has decided that it meets all three criteria for the charge in Michigan. The third is perhaps the most ambiguous and likely prone to being dismissed by the judge.

"An act that would be a violent felony under the laws of this state, whether or not committed in this state.

"An act that the person knows or has reason to know is dangerous to human life.

"An act that is intended to intimidate or coerce a civilian population or influence or affect the conduct of government or a unit of government through intimidation or coercion."
