Glad you posted this. They mentioned this incident in a segment they did on Last Week Tonight. The police are completely ill-equipped to deal with online harassment, even if they could determine the identity of the attacker, which they likely rarely can.

Most harassers really aren't that clever at hiding their tracks. Someone that smart is probably doing something more productive with their life.

It's likely a simple request from the police for identity is probably going to cough up the idiot.
