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.

Comment: The SEX Offender Registries (SORs) *sound good* but they are idiotic social policy. Experts never supported them and never will. That is because they knew that not only would the SORs be ineffective, but that they would even be counterproductive and gravely harm America. All of that has been seen and proven beyond doubt.

The SORs do not protect anyone. Further, they aren't needed. ANY person who lives, works, or whatever near you could easily be 1,000 times more dangerous than anyone around you who is listed on the SORs (whom you very likely would never know about regardless). You simply MUST protect yourself and your family from ALL people. You can read your glorious SORs all day and night and you won't change your risk level at all.
