Actually agree with this semantic difference. Terrorism is intended to produce terror - and imo should not apply to random violence with no apparent agenda whatever the triggering factor was.
Terrorism imo also includes gaslighting and domestic violence. It appears that the culprit was already known to the police for mental health issues. Carefully not specified by the cops. Criminal impulsivity is not the same as terrorism.
