I can understand why a person would ask around first. The OP was trying to see if anyone else had heard about it, possibly to determine the severity of the threat preceding a report to the police.

Many people are afraid to talk to police, especially when they are concerned about their evidence or the source.

Most of us know the police are on this board. It's convenient to make an unofficial report on here and not have to give your name/number to police, knowing that if the police consider it a threat, it will get checked out.

I for one, am glad that a person who has not made that call to the police, at least aired their concern on the board to fellow board members. It did get checked out right? Thank God for that.
