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: Like his late dead daddy, JT must be anti-semitic. He has remained silent to the Montreal guy who says we should punch Zionist Jews in the face. If he promises to really do it, I would go to Montreal and he can punch me. Guess I could punch him back.

SOLUTION: Threat

PROBLEM: Comment: Judging from the high rated comments it seems many could have used a visit by 3 ghosts this Christmas.

I'm essentially reading a lot of "Bah humbug...Perhaps this rabble should just die already and decrease the surplus population."

SOLUTION: Threat

PROBLEM: Comment: I think I'll wait for second reading, where meaning and intentions clarify, and text sometimes changes.

What you say may be right, and it may impact on civil rights and be found unconstitutional. There's still a difference between that and police state legislation or similar to 1937 Germany, which - you may recall - was my initial point on this thread. Less due process is an attribute of police states, but it's also an attribute of democracies that sometimes go too far. I'm more concerned about carding, for instance, but I still don't consider Toronto police to be Brown Shirt thugs.

SOLUTION:
Non-threat
