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.

Comment: 'But lobbying isn’t just about money. It’s about access and persuasion'. jesus! dumbest statement in months.
Non-threat

Comment: “absolutely, racism has played a role” says Meredith.

Another, perfect example of his unsuitability to sit in the Senate and be part of our Parliament. As clear cut a case of unethical behavior, that included grooming a teenager for sexual purposes, as there can be. And he wants to play the race card. At least his new lawyer is smart enough to not go there. 

What an immoral, self serving man. Revolting!
Non-threat

Comment: he's probably have to kill you if he told you...... ;D
