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.

[EX Q]: Comment: Patience, Brother. Homophobia must defer to Islamophobia, which itself must bide its time due to the fact that Black lives matter more than yours...Jack Layton was wrong. Politics are more powerful than love, and only marginally more powerful than hate, which Trumps love each and every time.
[EX A]: Non-threat

[EX Q]: Comment: shoot, shovel , n shut up

[EX Q]: Comment: So the the guy had an AK-47.  He points it at the police.   It has a 20 round clip in it.  The police shoot him.  The outcome is not unexpected.  An AK-47 is a formidable weapon.  If someone points one at me and I’m armed, I’m going to try and shoot first too.
