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: This is an outrage!

Who are these self-appointed busybodies who have decided they will speak for me and my neighbors? Nobody asked them to do this. I think we do quite well at speaking for ourselves, and our legislators do a good job of listening to us.

If I don't like what these people say "on my behalf," what can I do about it? They're not elected -- they're a private club that has decided they know better than we do.

And they claim to be "strictly nonpartisan," but the few names and organizations provided are heavily right-wing: recent arrivals who have made their names via right-wing "tea party" extremism, quasi-legitimate business-oriented groups (like the EDC), major corporations and the groups that represent businesses, and mid-level bureaucrats.

They're not even "officials" -- they're members of clubs, public employees, and corporate representatives. If these people want to speak for me, I want some say in what words they put in my mouth.
Solution:
Non-threat
