Apparently one person died. This had been the best CSD in a few years... Shit that I had to end like this.

What the hell is wrong with people. Just couldn’t let people experience joy and had to create tragedy.

While I somewhat get the decision from a security standpoint, doesn't cancelling the pride event give these lowlifes exactly what they want?
What are the odds that a second attack like this happens on the same event?
Pride is a protest as much as it is a celebration.
Attacks like this ruin the celebration, but in my view they also increase the need to protest.

I guess the mood is now ruined.

Early pride events were fueled by anger with a mood of "fuck with us, we dare you".

This was back-to-back in my feed with another instance of car-based terrorism.

Whoever is responsible should never be let out of prison. Fucking bigots.

Nazis on reddit are claiming that it was an Islamist, so there will probably be anti-immigrant pogroms regardless of whether that's true.
squirrel@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 5 pts · 15d
The police confirm it. In Germany, it's unlikely that there will be progroms for the moment, particularly not because of an attack on queer people. The far-right hates us too after all.

They hate queer people, but they love excuses to do violence.

News articles are saying there are Islamist connections too. That wouldn't surprise me given how absolutely batshit religious people can be.

Respond with more pride parades! This bigot is gonna be forgotten.

Funny how these coward losers are too afraid to get out of their cars. Wonder how they'd cope if their car was undriveable, such as on fire?
Shyanae@lemmy.world · 7 pts · 16d
Well this one was leaving the car and stabbing more people...
EatMyPixelDust@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 2 pts · 16d
That is not stated in the article that I can see.

I read it as well in early reports, dunno if they decided not to include that or if they later decided the injuries weren’t stab wounds (the article I read said ‘apparent stab wounds’).
