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.

[EX Q]: Comment: This individual does need therapy, I hope he gets the help he needs as well as one of those ridiculously light sex offender sentence. This system is broken when it comes to crimes of this nature. The list was designed to be a warning for parents, and yet these people still reoffend. The punishment needs to fit the crime. We need to start surgically castrating all offenders. We can't kill them (to my dismay) but we can permanently remove the urges.
[EX A]: Threat

[EX Q]: Comment: Mitch McConnell represents the absolute worst of American partisan politics. I think Dana Milbank is justified in saying that McConnell has wrecked the Senate as a defensive bastion of the minority against the majority. Harry Reid holds some responsibility for starting the fight, but McConnell was behind the original plan to deny Obama and - that's ANY - appointments to lower courts. McConnell attacked the administration by crippling the lower courts.

McConnell should be hanged by the neck until dead, for treason against the Constitution, which he swore upon the Bible to defend with his life.
[EX A]: Threat

[EX Q]: Comment: Ok, a lady who lost to pretty much a neophyte in Obama, was one of the worst SOS's ever who managed to have all of the money in the world on her side and a sitting President who was pretty popular just handing her the Baton...and she lost to TRUMP, all while blaming white women, Russians, Comey, the DNC, Bernie, WikiLeaks and sexism etc. You don't find that inept? She lost to a person no one else would have. So, yeah, that's pretty damn inept in my opinion.

This story is a lot more than what Trump is tweeting about, that's for sure.

I hope both parties go down in flames, I'm tired of them and their stupid games and their lies, and they can take their mouth breathing supporters with them.

Non-threat
