The Internet is a place of anonymity and these things will happen unfortunately. What is truly sad is these peoples lives that make these kinds of threats because they have no true outlet for their feelings. If only they had something else to do besides this...
This gets news stories and makes them feel like they have accomplished something, plus it reinforces their beliefs that they actually matter.
My advice to these folks would be to have a life outside of the Internet/social media. Read a goddamn book or just think about the world outside of yourself, at least every once in a while. The situation for these people will get bleaker and bleaker the more they do this and it will not have a happy ending. The discussion on the Beastcast not too long ago hinted at this as everyone is a douche at some point in their life but there will be a precedent set soon that will make an example out of one or a few of these folks that will hopefully wake them up to their shitty pastimes.
