The goal of prosecuting threats is because threats are violence, or at least are damaging in and of themselves.
Threats are also illegal under 18 U.S. Code § 875(c). Even if there was no intent to carry out the threat, if the threat can be interpreted by a reasonable person as being intended to cause fear, it counts as a true threat. [1]
