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: Vancouver was thinking it was a good idea to pass a law mandating snow tires-  but only if there was snow on the ground? 

How on earth was that law going to be enforced? Who was going to enforce it? How were people going to comply? Check the weather then break out the jack?

Two questions arise in my mind- 

1- Did the author completely miss the actual wording of the proposed law? Because surely a law like that could not have actually been proposed, right? 

2- If the author's research was accurate, it beggars the question: How do people that stupid actually get elected?

SOLUTION: Non-threat
