    People get death threats for the most silly things these days, in all sorts of ways, and nobody is going to get fined. This is all BS.

    Take the families who were harassed by Alex Jones for example, they got heaps of death threats and no one was fined for it.

      Most people do not get the death threats on camera, and then have the person admit to the police they made the threat like the woman did.

      The Alex Jones related threats were in fact anonymously made making it incredibly hard to verify and convict. Jones was also ordered to pay almost a billion dollars for making the original claims and spurring on the threats.

        The ones they could get they did, like the stalker for the one family that hired private security. The majority of threats were online and anymonymous.
