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: Whether I think a "political campaign should be carried out by 140 character tweets" or whether you do is irrelevant. HIs Tweets worked. He is the President-elect.

He didn't want to stay out the media; he wanted Free media; and he got it.

The Carnegie Mellon analysis is irrelevant to his results. The US Army had to 'dumb down' its training to the 8th grade reading level when we went All Volunteer army in the 1980's. And IQs have been steadily dropping since.

Who do you think Motor Voter and other 'increase the number of voters' programs were registering to vote? Rhodes' Scholars and PhD Candidates? Nope. A lot of people who were either too disinterested or too ignorant to bother makes up that kind of registration.
Non-threat

Comment: Russell did three tours in Afghanistan and Iraq. He was taught that the solution to disagreement is through violence, and that Asians and persons of Islamic beliefs are bad or evil, and are in some twisted way a threat to our country. Since leaving the military he suffered a serious head/brain injury, and is under the care of the Veterans Administration. These facts do not excuse his racist outrage, but somewhat explain how he came to be the tormented individual that he is.
Non-threat

Comment: The shooter, Dorty, should be executed. Any man or woman who would take a sum of money to kill should be executed.The wife should never be allowed to see daylight again.
