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.

Comment: Thieves should be shot when caught in the act. Sounds harsh but if you don't want to get shot.....don't be a thief. There I said it.
Threat

Comment: "not just lefties like me...." Michael, if you sincerely believe you are a "leftie" in the Catholic world, you may need your compass recalibrated.
Non-threat

Comment: John you are going to die very soon. And you want to go back to work, Italy no less? Don't you have a wife and a family. Stay home with them. Oh, I see, they can't stand you either!
