This article and headline is so fucking British it needs to see a dentist.
From what I can gather:
If you live in the UK, whatever county you live in makes you a %county%man (A Los Angelesman)
Some dindu named Kevin Sharkey called some other guy (who is not named Kerryman) from Kerry County in Bastardshireington UK (seriously, Britain, "Gortnadallagh, Kenmare, Co Kerry" are you fucking kidding?) named Garrett O'Mohoney a Racist on Twitter. As a result he was awarded 5000 British pounds plus legal fees of another 10k (totaling - without exchange rate math because I don't care enough - somewhere in the low $20k range).
You're welcome.
