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: Well sure the possibility occurred to me. Just like you thought that the Berlin carnage was caused by a lone crazy.
[EX A]: Non-threat

[EX Q]: Comment: I was defining the situation. The NFL is losing viewers and supporters and the fans are losing a once enjoyable Sunday afternoon and are being subject to political grandstanding. Nothing will change because the blacks believe the white people are the villains and they must change their ways. They also believe they is nothing they are doing that has exaggerated this issue, it is all whiteys fault. Don't believe me, ask them!
[EX A]: Non-threat

[EX Q]: Comment: "Flagrant lying.... sends the message that one should not bother speaking truth to power when power is the only truth".   Nice turn of phrase by the author.  Reminds me of the GW Bush White House spokesperson deriding  "the reality based community" and haughtily sneering that the Bush WH MAKES reality.

It's even more problematic when the powerful, like Trump, do not care one whit for reality or facts.  Compound this with the fools who blindly follow Trump seem to feel likewise and that there is a payoff for them in playing along.  

Remind me of a steroid driven crowd storming into the public square to lynch someone, for something, anything, as long as there is a crowd and a leader to follow.

Non-threat
