Some were burnt this from wikipedia.
I should have clarified that, I was referring to the witch trials in North America in the late 1600's. From what I read, they didn't burn witches here but instead hanged them.

So do you think that we should put people in prison for saying, "I hope you die?" Or what if someone thought they could make magically transport money from a bank to their house using only the power of their mind? Should they be arrested for attempted theft? Personally, I'd just laugh my ass off at their lame attempts. If they actually physically tried to go through with killing someone or stealing, then put them in jail. But here in the U.S. thoughtcrime doesn't exist. Perhaps things were different back in the 1600's.
And I don't know that any of the so-called witches ever tried to use a magic ritual to bring death upon a person, but again killing them seems a bit excessive. If we were to put everyone to death for wishing someone else was dead, the country would be a very empty place.
What do we burn apart from witches?
MORE WITCHES!!!
