If you do believe in thought crime, then open up your thoughts so I can rummage through them to find reasons to hold you responsible what you've not actually done.
From this I assume you are opposed to laws governing the incitement to racial hatred and similar? You don't think the acceptance and vocal/written communicative encouragement of violence doesn't make someone in some way vicariously liable for the actions of another?
If it was just an internal thought that was in no way communicated, implicitly or explicitly, and had no impact whatsoever on anything outwith the person thinking then that is fine. Else, there is some responsibility.
