Question Presented (from Petition)

Colorado felony menacing is a general intent crime that does not require proof that the defendant intended to harm a specific person. To qualify as a crime of violence under the force clause, an offense must require the perpetrator "to direct his action at, or target, another individual." Borden v. United States, 141 S. Ct. 1817, 1825 (2021). After Borden does Colorado felony menacing still qualify as a crime of violence under the Guidelines force clause?
