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: If these kids were any kind of minority, these posts would be full of hate-filled rants!  They're not guilty until a trial (remember the Central Park 5 who after years in prison were totally absolved of any participation in the supposed gang rape that got them convicted.  Our president elect took out a full page ad in all the New York papers at that time saying all 5 deserved the death penalty!)

SOLUTION: Threat

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: This is why I come to NCR so frequently.  I get to read thoughtful and refined (not to mention charitable) writing from the likes of Steve calling Trump many multiple times an "ignoramus"...and of course his refined and civil comments get left to stand here.

and now this fine entry from Steve: "Pope Francis cleaned Trump's filthy clock"

This why NCR's web metrics have fallen by more than 50% in the last 2 years.  

Please keep it up Steve.  Double down.

SOLUTION:
Non-threat
