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: Of course the progressives here are 'praying' for Cardinal Pell to be convicted. Why?  Not because he might be guilty or innocent, that is immaterial. It because he is an orthodox Catholic bishop.  Orthodox Catholics in the Curia have been regularly cursed by Pope Francis who has gradually placed his heterodox cronies into high places in the Curia.
"I am the Pope."
Non-threat

Comment: JJ,  But it does bring up a rather interesting thought or two.  It seems now that if a black is shot and killed by police it brings immediate protesting and usually some level of rioting regardless of justification or lack thereof.  Additionally, there is no protesting when anyone of another race is shot and killed by police.

To me, this reaction is the issue that the BLM can't overcome for it to become a popular movement.  Dragging the anthem and flag into it doesn't help, I believe it to actually hurt the movement and spurs letters like above.
Non-threat

Comment: Khadr should be given a choice. Give up your citizenship or be hanged as a traitor.
