Also, from what I can tell posts like this are a lot more high-profile than court cases. I haven't seen or heard of many court cases dealing with this, and when I have it's been via a blog post. Calling the police might be helpful in the specific case, but unless it really is high profile, it's not going to help change the culture.

High profile blog posts don't make it stop. In fact, it likely adds fuel to the fire.
A video of a perp walk will drive home to the anonymous cowards that this isn't acceptable.

Maybe the fact that nobody went to jail for those threats means they weren't as credible as you seem to think.
What evidence do you have that the police will do something? We could look at people like Brianna Wu and Anita Sarkeesian, who I feel confident we'll agree have experienced massive and credible death threats. They report the threats they get to the police and FBI. Who's in jail as a result?
