TASK DEFINITION: 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.
PROBLEM: Comment: Sad that we even would have to file charges like this because of thieves.

SOLUTION: Non-threat

PROBLEM: Comment: I have a lot of respect for Ed Broadbent, but as long as the NDP are in the pocket of the unions, especially the public service unions, having them form a government would be very very dangerous. Unions are as bad if not worse than large commercial interests. Unions are more hypocritical, self righteous and less accountable to their stakeholders than their business counterparts.

SOLUTION: Non-threat

PROBLEM: Comment: Yeah that's real smart, show up on private property & threaten a stranger. Sounds like a good way to get shot.

SOLUTION:
Threat
