"But I'm usually all about punishing those who have actually committed the crime, not just those who act like they were thinking about it."

What's your position on premeditated murder?

What's your position on premeditated murder?

Is that really the question you meant to ask? Obviously, ALL murder is punishable, whether you premeditated it or not.

I assume you meant to ask about a scenario where someone was plotting to kill someone, but never actually COMMITTED the murder. If you can demonstrate hard evidence of the plot, THAT is punishable. However, if your evidence consists of two doodles, a frowny face and a gun, and you claim knowledge that doodles and frowny face are common signs for murder - well, I'm not sure you should be able to get a conviction out of that.


And nice job for conflating bathroom buggery with murder...I expected no less.
