I think Q1 (serious threats) should be grounds for investigation, but I think it would be almost impossible to separate it definitively and legally from Q2 (humorous threats) and you are never going to get people to stop making those, nasty and unfunny though they are.
I don't think it's acceptable to rejoice at anyone's death, no matter how nasty.
Rejoice, by all means, at the election result, deposing of a tyrant, arrest of a criminal, sacking of a terrible boss. But death is not political, it is personal and human, and how often are people only stopped from doing bad things by death? Very rarely, I think : bad rulers, legislators and managers have usually become just vulnerable weak people, long before they die. I feel very strongly about this!
