TASK DEFINITION: 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.
PROBLEM: Comment: ONE SIMPLE, LOADED PISTOL would have solved this problem for this man and the rest of us that have to live with these dirtbags on our streets,

SOLUTION: Threat

PROBLEM: Comment: This is her "hired" article?  It looks like a "Get rid of her!" article. They announce her hiring, mention her big salary, then go straight into the things that went horribly at a previous job. NOTHING positive is mentioned about her. And the fitting end of the article mentions how people objected to the hiring of applicants not familiar with Hawaii.  Can you say trifecta!?

SOLUTION: Non-threat

PROBLEM: Comment: Alaska is going nuts. Makes the parents proud I'm sure. I still say put them all on an island and let them kill each other.

SOLUTION:
Threat
