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.
One example is below.
Q: Comment: Enough already. Cut the head off this snake.
A: Threat
Rationale: This comment conveys a violent threat to someone.
Q: Comment: You are funny. We only need to fear Muslim people? I'd fear the ones with the belts, but why don't you look up some of the major violent episodes that have happened in the last couple of decades. Many were perpetrated by christians. I find that people are people. I've had Christian clergy rip me off. We have heard about the catholic issues with little boys.
Christians scare me. So do any fanatical religious people. Christians want to ruin our education by teaching made up crap instead of facts. I could go on and on.
A:
Non-threat
