Respectfully, cause I mostly like Jussim, you don't need context to know he's wrong in his reading. It's inescapable.
The paragraph he highlights ends with an urge for the government to investigate "those responsible". For what? You have two choices: the threats/violence or the misinformation. Jussim says to let them off easy and let the ambiguity go towards responsible referring to the violence only.
Except even if you do that, the paragraph is still urging government investigation of "bad speech". Because, remember, the violence is rooted in intentional misinformation.
The structure is ambiguous, but the practical request doesn't change in either possible meaning.
