Input: Consider Input: Comment: Russell did three tours in Afghanistan and Iraq. He was taught that the solution to disagreement is through violence, and that Asians and persons of Islamic beliefs are bad or evil, and are in some twisted way a threat to our country. Since leaving the military he suffered a serious head/brain injury, and is under the care of the Veterans Administration. These facts do not excuse his racist outrage, but somewhat explain how he came to be the tormented individual that he is.

Output: Non-threat

Input: Consider Input: Comment: That's funny, with Obama snubbing Israel? As usual, you've got it backwards. Just like the Jews who voted for Obama in 2008. When speaking today; TEL AVIV Dec 30, 2016Israel's political shift to the right and growing support for building settlements made it easier for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to respond sharply to U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry's parting peace-plan speech, but some here are concerned he is counting too heavily on a friendlier U.S. in a Trump presidency...Welcome to Reality, brought to you from Obama?

"You go into Afghanistan, you got guys who slap women around for five years because they didn't wear a veil. You know, guys like that ain't got no manhood left anyway. So it's a hell of a lot of fun to shoot them. Actually it's quite fun to fight them, you know. It's a hell of a hoot. It's fun to shoot some people. I'll be right up there with you. I like brawling." General "Mad Dog" Mattis

Output: Threat

Input: Consider Input: Comment: Look at some of the classmates talk about him. They described him as creepy and insane, and say they aren't surprised.

He beat up his family, and attacked animals.

The signs were there. We don't even need NEW laws to address this particular case. He should have already been barred from gun ownership after the DV conviction.
Output: Non-threat
