I would not place a bond on this guy after the threats he made.I would provide mental help if I were the judge.He may be young enough to turn around.

I agree. Pehaps an evaluation and observation and fo;;ow up will help IF he has supportive family, good doctor who is educated on mental health and a judge who is educated and aware. All three very necessary factors NOT incarceration, then release out on his oun with no fo;;ow up and back to the same thing again.U can bet this family has experienced his violent rages a lot.
