While technically this guy was nonviolent, practically he was arrested with pipe bombs that he was planning on smuggling into the Ed and Elain Brown compound, presumably to use as booby traps when the feds came in to take possession of that compound to pay back taxes. Like seriously, this guy is like the most violent nonviolent offender imaginable, and had things gone slightly differently, in ways beyond his control, mind you, he would be serving life without parole.

Edit: for how this could go differently. Step 1. The feds decide to storm the compound instead of using trickery, and someone dies to a pipe bomb booby trap Gerhard made. That is literally all that is needed to turn this guy into a violent offender, and make sure that he spends his whole life in prison.
