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: Just kick an ice pick in to  his left ear, up to the hilt.
[EX A]: Threat

[EX Q]: Comment: As long as there's free food and generous gov't handouts, you'll have the dredge of the community taking advantage.  Too lazy to work menial but honest jobs, too dumb to find a good job, but smart enough to take advantage of freebees.  Cut the entitlements for these healthy but lazy bums.  Let them starve, no one will miss them.
[EX A]: Threat

[EX Q]: Comment: I would like to see the same survey done among the American Catholic hierarchs - ie, the American Catholic bishops, archbishops and cardinals. IOW- what was their thinking about the same issues, because their MOST important issue seemed to be only abortion! iow - abortion seemed to be the only DRIVING force of their politics. iow - the issues of war, killing for oil and other profits, destruction of our economy AND other nation's economies were almost never driving issues behind the American Catholic hierarchs behaviors, thoughts, preachings AND speakings AND Communism/Socialism. Also their thinking about their own power and it's uses. (shameful)
[EX A]:
Non-threat
