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.

Ex Input:
Comment: Actually, "The high (Supreme Court of Canada) court decision Thursday narrowly defines the crime of bestiality as penetration involving a person and an animal -- meaning it doesn't cover other forms of sexual activity." Someone used that in their defence to avoid being convicted for bestiality (though he was convicted of sexually molesting his young step-daughters).   So, don't be too sure about the bestiality thing...

Ex Output:
Non-threat


Ex Input:
Comment: Let them shoot each other

Ex Output:
Threat


Ex Input:
Comment: Actually, there IS an excuse . . . the fact that the alternative was worse.  

And who are these people to whom the Supreme Court gave a walk to first base?  The disabled?  I can understand that, being a disability lawyer myself.  Who else?  Blacks?  Is that how your white guilt leads you to think of them?  As needing a walk, like the disabled?  Nauseating.

Ex Output:

Non-threat
