He had the intent when he chose that street that specifically was blocked off for the parade.

Is that what happened? Did the state present evidence to what the man "intended" to do when he chose that street to drive down?

he doesn't have to have the intent early on or before turning down the street - he made the choice to harm when he saw people and kept driving and since he has a history of attempting to run over someone with a car this isn't new for him.

The OP was wondering why this guy wasn't being talked about the same way as

>Uvalde, Buffalo, Carolina, etc.

I'm pointing to the difference between these crimes and the one committed here.

He was driving through a crowd of people with a deadly weapon.

I’m not sure how that’s much different than shooting into a crowd.

That’s not what the legal definition of intent is. Intent in this instance refers to the fact that his actions had only one foreseeable outcome, which was death or grievous injury to the people along the path he drove his vehicle.
