That narrows it down in these parts.
Kind of impressive the back
Kind of impressive the back of his head can tell a 9mm from, say, a .40
Irish
Gee I wonder way the media never sites race when crimes are done by blacks. I guess because they are responsible for 95% of the violence in Boston and all other USA cites. Sorry I guess that makes me a racist.
Among other things
A racist, bad with numbers, and a crappy speller. Shouldn't you be out making signs for a Glenn Beck rally?
Don't trouble him with statistics!
He's got a Truthy Meme! Yeah!
Quick, where's his "original" Black President with a Hitler Mustache sign with scribbled diatribe about guns underneath?
Must be under that pile of Social Security check stubs ... drat that socialism!
Or maybe you miss it, and yeah, you're a racist
Papers tend to be good about identifying race and even ethnicity when a suspect is on the loose and it might help catch him. They don't tend to identify race when police have the suspect in custody.
Irish Looking
Do they mean Western Ireland or Dublin?
So, tweed cap "Irish looking", or Eurometrosexual look? Or football/rugby yob morph of "Irish looking", replete with Man United or Liverpool rivalry fetish or Lienster Rugby Jersey/Flag?
Israelis and Northern Europeans can have red hair, too.

I can't find an Internet Simpsons clip of the classic Itchy & Scratchy episode where the title card, "Itchy Runs Afoul of an Irishman", appears, and Milhouse yells out, "Look out, Itchy! He's Irish!"
