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: Man....shhtop bringing my...BURP...people into thish
Non-threat

Comment: If these kids were any kind of minority, these posts would be full of hate-filled rants!  They're not guilty until a trial (remember the Central Park 5 who after years in prison were totally absolved of any participation in the supposed gang rape that got them convicted.  Our president elect took out a full page ad in all the New York papers at that time saying all 5 deserved the death penalty!)
Threat

Comment: Yerda, We have been in this damn war since 9/11/01 and it does not appear that the other side is willing to let us walk away from it.

Our choice is to concede to Sharia law or win.

I do believe that at this point we need to do one or the other and if we choose to win then we ought to start thinking about doing what is required to win and if that means glassing over the source of the problem then so be it.

Non-threat
