Apparently the signs slipped through. Company policy is supposeed to be whomever is paying for the signs is supposed to identify themselves.
As far as death threats go, moment you get any, they get you increased media coverage and police protection. Plus the police go and hunt the culprits down. For political reasons, which is what drove the signs being up, this is a net political positive. First side to get to death threats loses.

If your main strategy is to drive attention to yourself for current or future political gain then you probably want to engage in a political stunt which will draw negative attention to yourself or your family; in contrast, if you just want to make a statement you probably don't want the world to know who you are.
Essentially, this is the same reason why you will see many bloggers who blog anonymously.

You could set up an organization, have it screen power players, but then be identified as to who did it. The media then approaches you and you release press statements to them about their questions, and keep the issue in play.
You bring up bloggers. Would bloggers go on 4Chan and post messages there? No, they want traffic. They want attention. They just don't want their personal lives messed with. What the organization did is equivalent to what Anonymous would do, without saying "We are legion".
