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 Q]: Comment: 1.  The same restrictions we all have when it comes to what we say publicly.  They are not allowed to slander or libel anyone, the same as us, but otherwise are free to say whatever is on their mind.
2.  Why should anyone be punished for something they said, assuming it was neither slanderous or libelous?  People who want other people punished for something they said have absolutely no concept of what "free speech" means.
3.  I am neither a Republican nor a Democrat.  Contrary to the practices of either party, I believe the rule of law needs to be upheld.  Both Republicans and Democrats alike are corrupt to the core, and both do this nation far more harm than good.

Remember, the First Amendment does not exist to protect speech with which we all agree.  The First Amendment exists to protect the speech with which we disagree.  Clearly this is a concept that Democrats are unable to grasp.
[EX A]: Non-threat

[EX Q]: Comment: motley:  I have the illegal fireworks in my neighborhood as well. I asked the IDIOT neighbors where did you buy them, I want to get some. Ohhhhh, they said they make the best ones on the Indian Reservations up by Vancouver. The city hotline on reporting ILLEGAL Fireworks is a  JOKE. I along with approx. 12 of my neighbors have called in the last several years, NADA, the response we get is, We are getting a lot of calls and we have limited personnel. Same old CRAP..............What does one have to do, file a lawsuit??????????
[EX A]: Non-threat

[EX Q]: Comment: Forget about prosecuting the homicides. Murder is not a quality of life issue. Finding your car window broken and your laptop gone is a quality of life issue. There are exceptions, particularly recently, but homicides generally kill people that need killin. I'm not worried about getting shot because I don't buy or sell drugs and I'm sound asleep by midnight. But if somebody stole my bicycle I'd be ready to take the law into my own hands and shoot them.
