In this task, you are given a public comment from online platforms. You are expected to classify the comment into two classes: threat and non-threat. Threat is a statement that someone will be hurt or harmed, especially if the person does not do something in particular.

Comment: Russell did three tours in Afghanistan and Iraq. He was taught that the solution to disagreement is through violence, and that Asians and persons of Islamic beliefs are bad or evil, and are in some twisted way a threat to our country. Since leaving the military he suffered a serious head/brain injury, and is under the care of the Veterans Administration. These facts do not excuse his racist outrage, but somewhat explain how he came to be the tormented individual that he is.
Non-threat

Comment: I have come to think that "...the infusion of grace by means of the sacraments properly dispensed" is, in large part, self serving ecclesiastical claptrap (I actually would use a much stronger word beginning with "B", but that one wouldn't pass the censors).
Non-threat

Comment: You are what is wrong with this country. You libs are the bigots. No clue who would be named but dead against it.  I despise Obama but once the results were in I still rallied behind my country.

Non-threat
