Logically, then, running away from a mugger should be a violent felony too, since the mugger might fire a gun in your direction. Or something.

The broad scope of this ruling is just idiotic.
Vehicular flight from police and leading them on high-speed chases should be regarded as violent, especially if personal or property damage is caused by said chase, and if the Supreme Court had limited this ruling to that, I would have no problem with it. However, they gave no such distinction, and stated that ANY and ALL flight can be considered violent.
