The vegas link explained it:

Police said
the incident started with an argument between the driver and a woman at a nearby home. The woman took off walking and that's when the driver gave chase.
Witnesses said the man floored his car in reverse and drove around in circles. He nearly hit several kids as they were leaving the school.
[ so it looks like a domestic violence incident that ended up in the streets]
And this one seems like a similar type of situation:

Holloway, who is being held without bail, told detectives she had been trying to sleep in her car earlier on Sunday but became stressed when she kept getting chased off by security guards, the police report said.
Holloway may have stopped in Las Vegas en route to Texas, where her daughter’s father lives, and the couple may have quarreled, Lombardo said, adding it was otherwise unclear what might have “caused her to snap.”
The Charlottesville case was closer to terrorism. He was swept up in the protests. He was not on meth, as far as I know. He was angry. But it was terrorism, in my opinion.
But, in contrast, here is what was reportedly said by the Melbourne suspect:
Saeed Noori, 32, who entered Australia 14 years ago, spoke to police about Allah, Australia’s domestic spy agency (ASIO) and the mistreatment of Muslims in the hours after his attack which has left 19 people injured, three of them critically.
“There was something to do with Allah, some ramblings about ASIO,” the acting chief police commissioner for the state of Victoria, Shane Patton, told The Australian newspaper.
Noori is an Australian citizen of Afghan descent who settled in Australia as a refugee.[18] In an informal interview he made utterances in which he "attributed some of his activities ... to the mistreatment of Muslims".[19] Police said Noori also made comments in relation to Allah and ASIO following his arrest.[20] One of Noori's co-workers at the call centre where they worked said: "
There was always talk of his religious beliefs, he was very strong in that. People would say 'I believe in God' and he'd say 'you need to believe in Allah'."

So there is a difference between this attack on pedestrians and the ones you linked. None of the three linked above spoke of the mistreatment of Muslims nor spoke of Allah.
It is hard to ignore that, combined with the previous recent attacks on crowds, perpetrated by Islamic extremists. JMO :cow:
