    Biden has made all of these statements on camera, but I'm sure some KKK members have made these statements as well.

    Are you saying that a small Antifa group in Austria can make some stickers and that suddenly changes the meaning of a universally recognizable symbol from one thing to another thing?

    Yes. The whole premise of the cartoon is that the guy was antifa affiliated, and the only evidence for that is a space invaders tattoo. No tattoo, no cartoon.

    The tattoo positively identified the shooter, who has a history of supporting and being active in leftist causes, including OWS and BLM.

    I'd never heard of the Space Invaders = AntiFa trope. The above explanation, that's what I took it to mean.

    But it appears that there is some kind of tenuous link between the two, so I withdraw my comment until more is known.

    *shrug* Well, you're accusing a cartoonist of trying to do the same thing ... so why not?

    Sure, right, okay - because the glaringly obvious "ANTIFA" label on the gun is not sufficient to imply that the guy holding it is "antifa affiliated" ...

    Same here. The purpose of the "space invader" tattoo was clearly to tie the cartoon, not to Antifa, but to the incident in Denver.

    The big red "ANTIFA" label (not the tattoo) is Garrison's attempt to (correctly or incorrectly) associate the incident with Antifa.

    Yes, that's my point... the only evidence that the cartoonist has that the guy is "antifa affiliated" is the tattoo.

    If the shooter is not antifa, then his argument ceases to exist.

    Garrison didn't make an "argument," he made a cartoon - a cartoon contrasting Biden's statement about Antifa with the shooting in Denver.

    The tattoo wasn't being presented as "evidence" of anything. Garrison's implication of Antifa was made via the label on the gun, not via the tattoo.

    The big red "ANTIFA" label (not the tattoo) is Garrison's attempt to (correctly or incorrectly) associate the incident with Antifa.

    Except for the tattoo, there is nothing in the cartoon that indicates what (if any) actual person or event is being represented.

    The purpose of the tattoo is to ground the representation in the Denver shooting by Dolloff.

    The point of the cartoon is that Dolloff (as identified by the tattoo) is Antifa (as alleged by the big red "ANTIFA" label on the gun) - and that Antifa is thus not "just an idea."

    The tattoo is irrelevant to whether it is warranted to allege that Dolloff is Antifa.

    That is not true, the guy has history of supporting extreme leftist causes.

    There is more than just a goofy tattoo to determine that.
