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: Every one of the lawmakers who pushed this crap through should be prosecuted.
Non-threat

Comment: Some pedestrians deserve to be run over and crushed!.   You know who you are.....and please don't accuse me of making irresponsible comments.   My comment is directed at those of you who take about two weeks to cross the street - while texting  or talking on the phone  or daydreaming.   You keep the cars waiting and u back up traffic while you take your time to stroll across the road.  

I have no sympathy or empathy.
Threat

Comment: If he has the mental capacity to determine the comport of the evidence, he certainly knows that driving a crossbow bolt into someone's skull will kill them.
