Police launched a manhunt after a vehicle struck several people near Berlin's Tiergarten on Saturday night during Pride celebrations, known locally as Christopher Street Day (CSD).

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".
