I do genuinely believe that the majority of death threats and hateful remarks made on the internet come from teens who haven't fully developed their sense of empathy yet

You'd be suprised. A few years back in France, there were trials on hate speech involving death threats, and the 13 people who were brought in court were aged between 18 and 31.

And I remember and article (though was unable to find it again), that spoke about the many groups of 60+ y.o. people that spewed a lot of hate speech and death threats on Facebook.
