I think most reasonable people would conclude that these threats were not justified, I didn't see any comments supporting these on HN. If the identities of the people making these threats was known they would likely be facing criminal charges and held in public contempt.

So that makes it difficult to condemn these people in better terms than "internet trolls are assholes" which everybody already thinks.
