Depends on the side I found myself on. I certainly wouldn't have sent Spongebob as a reply.
If I were communicating with a female classmate and received that from the boyfriend, I would back the hell off and inquire with a different classmate. In class, I would show her the conversation on my phone. I'd also tell her, "That sort of relationship isn't healthy or safe. You just needed to know it happened, it's none of my business otherwise."
Depending on my feeling in the moment, I just might even go to the Sheriff's department to give an anonymous warning/tip. Domestics that end with a fatality, start small, just like this
At the other end, a BF with the jealous GF... I find it hard to believe that I would have put myself in that situation again. I did it to myself once before and it destroyed my life. I have absolutely ZERO patience for jealousy. I'd break up with her... after a call to the Sheriff as a heads up that I'm breaking up with a jealous GF, just in case.
