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: “absolutely, racism has played a role” says Meredith.

Another, perfect example of his unsuitability to sit in the Senate and be part of our Parliament. As clear cut a case of unethical behavior, that included grooming a teenager for sexual purposes, as there can be. And he wants to play the race card. At least his new lawyer is smart enough to not go there. 

What an immoral, self serving man. Revolting!

SOLUTION: Non-threat

PROBLEM: Comment: Perhaps one reason our economy is so tepid is the burdensome taxes put on consumers. Nobody has any money because everyone is taxed to death at every turn. Open up any newspaper and the talk is of another tax, a tax on Netflix, taxing private health plans and the like. What this useless government has got is a spending problem.

SOLUTION: Non-threat

PROBLEM: Comment: Trump Bragged He Witnessed Harvey 'First Hand' - (He Didn't)

He's back twittering.

Trump went to no area that was hit by flooding.

He didn't get his shoes wet, and he treated the whole trip like it was another of his campaign rallies, 

….and literally sold $40.00 hats via product placement.

It's not just the Tweeting, it's the lying and the shameless self aggrandizing.

And once again a White House staff whose ONLY job is to clean up after him

What a traitorous buffoon.

Worst ever.

SOLUTION:
Non-threat
