Clarification
is an example of someone sentenced under the Hobbs Act for a crime spree of carjacking, robbery, and murder.

The lead of the article says "Although the Hobbs Act was enacted as a statute to combat racketeering in labor-management disputes, the statute is frequently used in connection with cases involving public corruption, commercial disputes, and corruption directed at members of labor unions."

It appears from the above news article and many others I find by searching that it is used for criminals that have nothing to do with racketeering, public corruption, labor unions, etc. Can the article be updated to explain more about this? I find the article heavy on legal jargon and hard to follow myself. MB 00:17, 9 November 2017 (UTC)
