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: Dear NRA; Exactly how do you feel about people with mental health issues owning guns , people with repeat issues with spousal abuse owning guns and people with carry permits killed by police getting away with murder?
All issues in this weeks news, does anyone know what they are saying? Saying sad or it's a small statistic IS sad.
I own guns, hunt with them, but do not want to have family or friends killed by a 2 nd amendment abuser.
Fire away lads.

SOLUTION: Threat

PROBLEM: Comment: This is what I can't understand about Trump's followers, William. It is not about his policies, to the extent that he has any. What I don't understand is that you're willing to believe every story told by her enemies about one candidate, even though she's been cleared by all the congressional committees and agencies that investigated her; but you're not willing to believe Donald Trump when he tells you with his own mouth precisely what kind of man he is. He has told you that he is a sexual abuser, in his own words; that he enjoys mocking handicapped people and characterizing people by the ethnic group that they belong to; that he likes to see violent eruptions in his campaign rallies; that he loves war, wonders why he can't use nuclear weapons. These are not stories told by others (although others have confirmed them) but by his own mouth. Yet you won't believe him, but you will believe stories told by her enemies about Hillary Clinton?

SOLUTION: Non-threat
