instruction:
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.
question:
Comment: The Church does not, and should not, condone sinful behavior as something good. This stance in no way can be equated with what Mateen did to these people at Pulse. That action was driven by hate, and hate alone.

This goes to a larger piece which addressed this ideological hate with rallies across the country this past weekend. The Left reflexively came to the defense of shariah adherent ideologues who have no problem killing homosexuals. In fact, they take it as a duty. WHY?
answer:
Threat


question:
Comment: I only go by the words you write on this forum. If I am wrong in any way, I apologize. But prison is not the place to put severely mentally ill persons.
answer:
Non-threat


question:
Comment: Future Section 8 and welfare recipients. I say let them drown!
answer:

Threat
