Wow, HN is on one with this post. First off, the headline is being heavily editorialized here, rather than using the headline from the article: "Germany classifies Berlin Pride ramming as 'terror attack'" Then there are immediate accusations in the thread that this is the fault of a very broad group of people. But equally wild is a comment opening on a tragedy with "lol". I cannot fathom what's funny here, even tragically. Then there's someone claiming it's a false flag, when the individual suspected was previously arrested and ordered to undergo deradicalization. Maybe we can all chill a bit, let some facts come to light and in the mean time focus on recognizing and supporting the victims? Y'all aren't out here expressing any thoughts like, "it's fucking tough as hell for the queer community right now, and this isn't helping" or "my heart goes out to everyone who was hurt, lost someone, or witnessed that"? No? Immediately to pointing fingers at someone? Do better.

Worth noting that Berlin (the government) is currently purging Muslims from overseas territories. Also the Berlin pride march closes so many roads throughout the city and German drivers get extremely upset about closed roads and have committed terrorism on that basis before.
