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.

Question: Comment: Why would you assume that because I feel the US flag should be respected, that somehow makes me support racism? That's a completely ignorant statement, and a big reason no reasonable person will give anything you say credibility. You are part of the problem.

Answer: Non-threat

Question: Comment: Vancouver was thinking it was a good idea to pass a law mandating snow tires- but only if there was snow on the ground?

How on earth was that law going to be enforced? Who was going to enforce it? How were people going to comply? Check the weather then break out the jack?

Two questions arise in my mind-

1- Did the author completely miss the actual wording of the proposed law? Because surely a law like that could not have actually been proposed, right?

2- If the author's research was accurate, it beggars the question: How do people that stupid actually get elected?

Answer: Non-threat

Question: Comment: "The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act."

There aren't words to describe the level of disgust this perverted moniker engenders. This is a twisted tax cut plan for the rich, and a torpedo below the belt for America, just so the 1% can hoard more cash in their offshore bank accounts. 'Trickle Down' economics is right up there with 'Voodoo' economics and this plan will share the stage with both of those failures should it pass. Companies will not repatriate their funds, they will do stock buy-backs and cut jobs to pump up CEO pay and stockholder value. The 1%, and the 10% below them, will not create jobs, they will hoard cash or buy more real estate, yachts, or art.

The hollowing out of America continues.

Answer:
Non-threat
