I am actually quite impressed with that description from a 13 year old in a panic situation. Approximate age, approximate ethnicity (or at least how he looked to her), short Mohawk and a tattoo under his left ear in addition the color of the car plus that it is a convertible with a sports car look. There can’t be too many people that match that description, it sounds like she did a great job observing her surroundings and describing them as best she could. Claim profiling all you want but guess what if I see someone fitting that description I am going to call the cops and get them a license plate number because their aren’t too many people that look like that. Just the Mohawk and the tattoo are pretty good giveaways. Hope this guy gets caught.

Better be careful describing people the police are looking for... If you describe him as a man are you profiling that men commit more crimes than women... HUGE difference between profiling and describing a wanted suspect.

She was 13!! Maybe Asian was the only word she could think of to describe him considering she was probably frightened at the time.

You'd better have his pedigree before you start "profiling" him as "Asian"!
