Is it when he/she think about commenting it?:confused:
Or when he/she has commented?:rolleyes:
Or After commenting the crime?:cool:
Commenting on a crime isn't a crime.
But COMMITTING a crime is.
Committing means that you are in the process of committing the crime. So that is when the crime would be committed.
Thinking about a crime isn't a crime.

Hello P:
In addition to the great answer you already received, I want to add that even conspiring to commit a crime ISN'T a crime, unless once commits an overt act in the furtherance of the conspiracy.
In other words, you can say to your buddy, "Hey, let's rob a bank", and he can say "ok, how many guns do I need?", and THAT isn't a crime.
But, the second one of you steps into a gun shop, you're a criminal.
