Ho yuss .. bastard wants shooting .. though I expect he'll claim insanity or

No, it's because what he did caused real suffering and is illegal. He was
impersonating the Home Office, I believe.
'They' could, but Trolls are just morons who need to see their name in
print, and there are no laws, as such, against what they do. If they do
cause real suffering, or libel or somesuch, then maybe there is something
that can be done, but it would probably be a personal case, not a criminal
case.
