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: "not just lefties like me...." Michael, if you sincerely believe you are a "leftie" in the Catholic world, you may need your compass recalibrated.

SOLUTION: Non-threat

PROBLEM: Comment: I like how they twist her words regarding "trade with open borders" to something about having no immigration process whatsoever. The "free market" people should LOVE what she says about free trade but since it comes from a mouth that is a) owned by a woman and b) owned by Hillary, they HATE IT all of a sudden. 

It is pretty silly to read conservatives' comments when they are all, line by line, taken from a Faux News or Breitbart article.

SOLUTION: Non-threat

PROBLEM: Comment: I lived in Turkey, in the early 60's. I learned about Islam there.  Mustafa Kemal Ataturk brought Turkey into the 20th century by ousting Sharia Law and instituting secular law.  My Turkish friends would always laugh and kid whenever i said something that was contrary to Shari Law.  "Oh, we have to kill you now, you infidel." And I would say WHAT?  And they would say "NO, no, no not anymore, we want to be part of the 20th century."  But the Muslims today, that want to follow Sharia Law, aren't kidding. They want to kill all of us, because we are infidels, and will not convert. And what REALLY scares me is that Erdogan of the Turks is steering back to Sharia.

SOLUTION:
Threat
