Detailed Instructions: 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.
See one example below:
Problem: Comment: Enough already. Cut the head off this snake.
Solution: Threat
Explanation: This comment conveys a violent threat to someone.

Problem: Comment: " But I think it's a safe bet that by the time the debates are over, both camps will declare their candidate the winner."

1] It's very obvious that hard-liners for both candidates already have made up their minds their candidate won the debate and it has even taken place. Although the debates may or may not be a turning point for the undecided voters which remains to be seen.

"And, just as likely, Team Trump will shout that their guy pulled the mask off "crooked Hillary" and exposed her for the corrupt and duplicitous woman that she is."

2.] Factually speaking from the beginning and before the presidential race Hillary's resume is what has exposed her corruption as to what an utterly deplorable woman she is. Trump can hardly take or should receive credit for what Hillary has done to herself.
Solution:
Non-threat
