WILLIAM A. BABLITCH, J.
¶ 44. (concurring). A majority of this court adopts the definition of "true threat" found in State v. Perkins, 2001 WI 46. I would adopt a more stringent test for a true threat when the crime charged, as here, does not require intent. See In the Interest of Douglas D., 2001 WI 47 at ¶¶ 61-64 (Bablitch, J., concurring). I conclude, however, that, under either test, the statements made by A.S. would constitute a true threat. For this reason, I concur in this case. I refer to my concurrence in Douglas D., *203which explains my reasons for adopting a different test.
