Martin Was a Member of a Politically-Radical Group Known as the Weathermen

Essay

Martin was a member of a politically-radical group known as the Weathermen. This group was a branch of a student society at school that advocated a radical means to overthrow the government. Martin met with a group of his friends in an empty apartment building and decided to make some homemade pipe bombs to plant throughout the community. The plan included contact with a newspaper after the bombs were set off, identifying the group, and trying to convince people that the current government positions in various parts of the world were wrong. The bombs would be a way to terrorize others and bring attention to the Weathermen's cause in hopes of changing international policies of promoting capitalism in the name of democracy. The plan failed when Martin and his group accidentally blew themselves up. What crime theories could be applied to this scenario?
