"I think they took their trolling too far"

There's no need for "on the internet" to be different than any other part of life.

Simply walk to your local newspaper office and give a journalist the same treatment and see what happens next.

Or give a librarian at a public library a hard time exactly the same way.

Or just some random woman on the street.

We have extensive case law for "disturbing the peace" and all that kind of stuff.

This is not all that unusual. You can read about this kind of behavior and its consequences in your local police blotter, probably available online for free.
