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.

Q: Comment: At least these scholars are thinking for themselves, not something that is encouraged much in our schools - but should be. Issues such as this should be up for debate in every school in the country not give rise to disciplinary hearings. Nevertheless it is a mystery firstly why the EFF find it necessary to resort to threats of violence in a matter that involves school children and secondly why anyone would report the comments of Kevin Pietersen who time and again has shown himself to be nothing but a disruptive twat who is unable to exercise any rational judgment before opening his trap.

Q: 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.

A: Non-threat
