If you shoot a gun into a spare crowd, you don't know without a doubt that someone will get hurt or killed. You know that it might happen, but by your definition, there's no intent.

The average Joe who has a few drinks after work probably isn't going to kill someone, but if he gets loaded and drives, then he does intend to put other people's lives at risk. If I did something while knowing that it would risk your life and you died from it, that's enough intent for me to deserve some severe punishment.
