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: If a dude is actively threatening to kill someone, a head shot with a scoped .308 or .223 may be reasonable.  The same is not true of a dude sitting alone in his house.  In the latter case, there is no active threat.  We people instruct police to kill the dude anyway just to prove that they must do what we want when we want it.  Okay, if that is the kind of society we want, so be it.  Recall, that we really know nothing about what the dude did, but I guess the point is that we should kill him to teach others to do what police officers tell them regardless of the circumstance.  Okay, whatever.  We craft the society in our image and reap the benefit when citizens kill because we have taught them how little value life has.
Threat

Comment: I would rather die by being shot by a gun than being cut up with scissors or  whacked to death with a rolling pin!
Threat

Comment: It's hard to believe Caldwell was re-elected, or maybe not given his deep rooted union support.  Regardless, he alone is costing the public billions in cost over runs and shrugs it off as if it where nothing.  Like a pig at the trough, he just keeps going to the taxpayer for more money, as if it where deserved.  He has never taken accountability for the continuing blunder we call rail.  It was a terribly designed system from the very start, old world technology sold at less than half of what it may ultimately cost.  And recall then, the tag line was the Fed's where picking up nearly a third of the cost, that is now more like a sixth and dropping.  But back to Crooked Kirk, who is backed by PRP, who also placed slanderous ads against Chuck Doju in the last mayoral race.  The biggest issue I have is how little bang for the buck the public will get out of this project.  It's already a failure and it's not even done.  That will be Kirk's legacy.
