“ — KINGSTON, Ont. — ‘May the devil shit on their graves,’ Mohammad Shafia told his second wife, Tooba Mohammad Yahya, 20 days after the bodies of the couple’s three teenage daughters and Mr. Shafia’s first wife were recovered from a car in the water at the locks.”

Guess what? We’re angry. We’re AN-GRY…Our people got blown up in a building. They all died. They had a choice: they could jump to their death or be burned to death. They were doing nothing to these people. Now, you want to play by the rules? I liked it. I think it’s a good message—not only will you get killed, but we’ll piss on you.
