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: 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.
answer:
Threat


question:
Comment: And of course, the upcoming election will remind Canadians how the Liberals lied about electoral reform. Unlike the Harper government, this is a craven gang that hopes to quietly sell out the country to plutocrats and corporations while no one is looking. Trudeau is a pathetic neoliberal stooge peddling a discredited ideology. "Sunny ways" is the same trickle down economics delivered with a smile and patronizing condescension.
answer:
Non-threat


question:
Comment: Nope classic common sense, crippling a current energy source before you have another reliable and reasonably price alternative, is just flat out stupid
