What is the real difference between a terror and a non terror attack?

Feeling like the label "terror" is just media talk. Armed person killing 2 and a darker skinned armed person killing 2 is not really different, is it?

Intent.

Intent was to kill people

Yes, but the underlying intent, in my opinion is to affect an audience larger than the immediate non-combatant victims for political reasons.

if it was done to kill people at random for misguided religious beliefs then the only difference is if the reporter is reporting the incident truthfully or if its done with liberal bias that refuses to tell the truth

But that isnt a crime. The crime was murder so not sure if there is a big difference. Feels like a lingo to divide people

Not every act of violence is a terror related attack.
It's terror related if the violence is determined to be motivated to attain specific goals or to intimidate.

Even in instances where the person clearly screams out Allah Akbar before inflicting carnage?

No difference. You kill a guy, you kill a guy. Who you do it for does not matter.

Killing is in fact killing, but there is always an underlying motivational factor to prompt a person to commit such an act. There in lies your difference from your original question. We aren't debating what makes them similar.

One is to kill for personal reasons while the other is political, meant for citizens to see and inflict terror upon them.

Killing randomly and en-mass indiscriminately in an attempt to strike paralyzing fear into the masses is terror. That is very much out of the norm of the vast majority of murders and very different.

All i am saying is that the whole lingo is BS and people crying foul on a specific type of people is also BS.
Its not like rest of the races do not commit crimes. People just want to single out a specific group and use "Terror" as the plot

Terror attack - perpetuated by a nonstate actor against either the state, or civilians, in an attempt to sway the opinion of the public in regards to a political or ideological motif.
Non-terror attack-
Perpetuated by the state (no longer terrorist act, as terrorist are not state actors), perpetuated by civilians against other civilians for personal reasons/gains.
Basically, the difference is who is doing the attacking, what the target is, and what the motivation behind the attack is.

I guess its my fault for asking a nonpartial question on a southern football forum with the masses being right.
