On a Sunday meant for celebration and solidarity, a van drove deliberately into the crowd at Berlin's Pride festival, killing one person and wounding sixteen others. Police moved swiftly to identify a suspect, though the full shape of the act — its motive, its context, its consequences for the injured — remained unresolved. The attack joins a longer, painful history of vehicle-ramming incidents at open public gatherings, renewing the enduring question of how free societies protect spaces built on openness without surrendering the very spirit that makes them worth protecting.
