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.

Q: Comment: "What you are saying is that anyone can be given a rifle and some bullets and they can go out and kill someone who is supposedly protected like the President of the United States."
Nailed it.
I've done plenty of reading on the Kennedy assassination. Oswald fired from an upper floor of a building. He had a clear shot.
One out of every ten presidents has died from a violent act at the hands of ordinary human beings.

A: Threat
****
Q: Comment: Insurance companies add no value to this.  They're just parasites.  The problem with the ACA is that it made the parasites the most important player.  In 2013 the Aetna CEO made $30 million...for example.

Get costs under control.  Implement a universal system.  Pay for it with a flat percentage tax on ALL income, including capital gains, etc.

A: Non-threat
****
Q: Comment: ASRC and BBNC are in some kind of stupid competition.  Think about how many ANCHORAGE commercials they have on TV.  Are they selling a product?  nope.  Can I join their club?  nope.  It's an ego driven power play on who is bigger.  They would be better off giving their advertising dollars back to shareholders or investing the money (both are suffering badly with the down turn in oil services).

A:
Non-threat
****
