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: I would be carrying more than a large knife if people were shooting at my home and animals, calling me a white nigger, threatening to shoot me, and showing up with a virtual lynch mob of ignorant people who are shouting and threatening to 'tape me up' and send me out of town. The leaders of Akiak have led their people to commit illegal actions before and what would stop them if they told these people to harm this man? I understand that kind of harassment is legal and accepted in Alaskan native villages apparently, but it's not right on a human or a Christian level ( which is apparently not their religion). Sooo he is  wearing a knife on his belt on a small farm in Alaska and that makes him a bad person? Hahaha. That's beautiful.
answer:
Threat


question:
Comment: Do these people really need formal "training" to know that telling someone you thought about her in the shower is inappropriate?

How about telling them on their first day in Washington "Telling colleagues or staffers you find them physically attractive, asking them to have a sexual relationship with you, telling stories or jokes regarding sex, or sharing your fantasies about them or anyone else is stupid, unprofessional behavior and will not be tolerated, but may be recorded and shared with your spouse, constituents and the press. Looking for love here is the wrong place and you need to deal with personal issues and needs away from this institution. Treat everyone you encounter in these halls as you want your spouse, child or parent to be treated." It's not all that complicated, and it's sad anyone even needs to have this much explanation about appropriate conduct in a workplace.
answer:
Non-threat


question:
Comment: If this were black on white crime they wouldn't even publish it, let alone put a picture of the guy.  It is getting to be the norm that any crimes commited by blacks, illegals or democrats the media doesn't call out the race or affiliation.  If its a white person or a republ7can its plastered all over.  People are really seeing the blatant bias of the media.
answer:

Non-threat
