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: Its just a game. Like any other. It has nothing to do with Washington looking for targets to blame for their ineptitude and incompetence. A sport as American as a Hotel Golf Resort.
answer:
Non-threat


question:
Comment: Judging from the high rated comments it seems many could have used a visit by 3 ghosts this Christmas.

I'm essentially reading a lot of "Bah humbug...Perhaps this rabble should just die already and decrease the surplus population."
answer:
Threat


question:
Comment: Dave that sounds like enough padding to the data that the study is fairly useless. the majority of the incidents where it was used are for non aggressive bears and in addition instances where it is used as a hazing tool. 

Only leaves a small minority of the data as representing a dangerous bear encounter with a Brown Bear.
answer:

Non-threat
