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: If the Republican majority thinks kicking the fiscal can down the road until after upcoming elections is their only option, then I say the voters need to start making it crystal clear which legislators will be kicked to the curb.
[EX A]: Threat

[EX Q]: Comment: the Donald is a real charmer...and i'm sure pure and clean as fresh snow. don't you think he always looks like he needs to go stool, or is trying, really, really hard at that very time, to stool, while the pic is taken? in every pic you see of him? explains a lot...his nasty disposition, the ever-present but always unique scowl? the name calling, slanders and libels. I wonder if he pays someone to wipe his fanny...someone to buttle his butt so to speak... what do you think, doc?
[EX A]: Non-threat

[EX Q]: Comment: Competence isn't black and white. A doctor may be extraordinarily competent in family practice, but not so as a surgeon. The question to be asked is, can this person be brought up to speed in those areas where his competence is lacking? The testimony before the tribunal was that yes, he could be brought up to speed. The tribunal rejected that testimony, preferring their own much harsher assessment of Camp's competence. Having said that, Camp's competence regarding sexual assault law is now a moot point anyway. Since the trial in question, he was elevated to a different branch of the judiciary where he will never deal with that area of law. However he will never serve in that position if the tribunal has its way.
[EX A]:
Non-threat
