Not quite, at least according to the article, I guessβ€” although it does depend on what form the confrontation took.

The candidate was attacked after confronting an individual who was trying to remove an election poster on Tuesday, officials said. The perpetrator injured the man with a carpet knife.

He was running after them, screaming to lay down or whatever. Definitely a dumb and provocative move.

Is that ... victim blaming? Would say the same thing to Salman Rushdie? "Definitely dump and provocative move to write a blasphemous book".

I saw the video, the AfD guy just went after the guy who took down the posters and the guy proceeded to stab him. You guys are unhinged to see that and say "it's his fault for doing that". Imagine if the roles were reversed and it was another party. Anyway, getting butthurt because afd is winning won't get you anywhere.

Confronting armed people is dumb, and no that is not victim blaming. But thanks for outing yourself publicly.
