No. It is not, and can never be. Simply killing someone is barely scratching the
surface of hatred.

IMO, yes. "I kill you with regret, because justice demands that it be so" is better
than "cut me off in traffic, would you? <bang>".

Once again, it is not the thought that is the crime, it is the expression of it.
Saying "to show you I'm serious, I'll kill this innocent passer-by" is a form of
communication (to whoever you spoke that sentence to), as well as murder (of the
passer-by).
