instruction:
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.
question:
Comment: "Three seconds away from eating lead"? This is why the average person shouldn't be carrying a firearm. I can't count the times someone's dog has come running up to me on trails all over the state and sometimes they seem aggressive until they figure out I'm not a threat. I'm almost always armed when in bear country and have never once thought about shooting someone's dog. Of course if I was ever bit by one it would be a different story but even then I would more than likely strike the dog in the head with my firearm before shooting it dead.
answer:
Threat


question:
Comment: Pretty crappy stuff getting thrown up in the ol'Mat-Su
answer:
Non-threat


question:
Comment: Except it turned out he wasn’t fired, he resigned and rightly so. Had he not, he should have been fired.  Ijust love how when you are caught in a LIE you always try to deflect it, yet end up making yourself look even worse.  You really are a laughingstock on this site!
answer:

Non-threat
