They weren’t threats in the criminal sense of the word. They weren’t communicated to the threatened person or to anyone who was likely to pass them on to the threatenee.
They also weren’t communicated to anyone who was likely to go and do something about it, so they weren’t incitement either.
At best they were an attempt at establishing a conspiracy, but I’m not convinced.
The fact that they probably aren’t a criminal act in themselves doesn’t mean the police shouldn’t investigate, but he’s not going to hang just for this.
