thoughts? but there is ACTION after the thought.

I don't advocate thought crimes and I don't see that someone thinking of killing someone is an actionable offense. I do see that once they cross the boundary of thinking about it and into the realm of ACTING upon it. Acting upon it is seeking out resources and methods to execute the action. Reading materials about resources and methods still is in the realm of thinking about it. Actually securing the items you need to execute? That's beyond thought. You don't agree?
