I'm not one of the maniacs making threats of any kind, but honestly it really seems like death threats are the only thing that gets any attention anymore, so I can understand why it's done...

Is "eat the rich" not a death threat in its own right?

There is no meaningful difference between a threat and a warning. I've never understood why we see that retort so often when someone asks "is that a threat?!". It's the same damn thing.

Threat in criminal sense requires that subject of the threat is identifiable....

Who is the rich in that "threat" above?
