https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elonis_v._United_States https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elonis_v._United_States is similar to this case. Basically there's 2 modes of thought, one is that a "reasonable person" (whatever that means) has to find it threatening, and the other mode is that a "reasonable person" has to find it threatening, AND the government has to show that the person intended it to be threatening.
The fact that it's just a letter and a finger wag implies that the government might know it's not a "true threat".
