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: I'm sure it makes not a picayune difference to some folks, but OJ WAS acquitted of the murders wasn't he?  Should we all look for the nearest sour apple tree and break out the hangman's noose whenever a jury's decision isn't to our liking?  And at last glance, at least 66% of African Americans still agreed with, if not applaud, the verdict.
answer:
Non-threat
