You know what the most disturbing thing is? "Normal" people do this.
We're picturing villains, hateful characters, people with severe mental shortcomings. Deeply traumatized personalities looking for some retaliation.
Nope. It's your neighbor. That kind middle-aged guy walking his dog. The one that is considerate and intelligent enough to know better.
Several years back a dutch TV show proved this point. They did detective work to track down people making online death threats and confronted them at their door. Every single episode ended in the same anti-climax: completely "normal" people.
When pressed for an answer as to why they launched these threats...none could give a meaningful answer. They didn't even actually care about the matter at all.
