30. Speech crime...
If he merely thought about it and nothing more, you may have a valid point. However, as he has both spoken and written about it in an official capacity (which, like it or not is against the law in many European countries) as spokesperson (and founder) of The Adelaide Institute, it goes beyond your melodramatic and fictional sobriquet of "thought crime" found in so many hack-authored, bad science fiction book and movies (on which so many people seem to base their knowledge of law and morality on these days).

But then again, maybe you believe anyone should have the right to say anything at anytime-- regardless of consequences to other people...
