Most of the individuals that do death threats are doing it because they think that their peers would approve. The community effect is very powerful and sometimes the community deserves blame.

All of the individuals who do death threats are crazy.

No matter how much you dislike someone, death threats are always the wrong side of the red line.

I don't think that the community at large supports those individuals who did those death threats.
