**Film: [[PsychoForHire Harlen Maguire]] is a sleazy [[ImmoralJournalist nightcrawler]] and mob hitman who enjoys photographing his own killings. [[EstablishingCharacterMoment Introduced]] smothering a stabbing victim to death when he realizes the man is alive and disrupting his camera shot, Maguire hangs the picture up alongside many others, signifying more of his victims. Hired by the Rooney family to hunt down and kill Michael Sullivan and his son, Maguire tries to see the job through, with cheerful delight at getting to kill the legendary Sullivan and his [[WouldHurtAChild child]]. During his hunt for them, Maguire kills a [[CopKiller policeman]] for distracting him and a mob banker just for being in his way, and ultimately knocks off Sullivan's sister-in-law and her husband to ambush and kill Sullivan, nearly claiming his son's life, too.

Honestly......what? The only stereotype I can see is that they're Catholic. They don't have accents, and while they drink at wakes and such, it's not especially prominent. All I can think is that being in the Irish mob is a stereotype, which seems like a stretch but whatever. I won't remove the trope since YMMV is subjective, but for the love of god at least provide some examples if you're gonna make the claim.
