Yes. You have not seen "South Park", I presume. This line is originally "Oh
my God! They killed Kenny! You bastards!" I took liberties with the
translation, but I feel the effect came across.
But, a question - is there a better way to say "You <taHqeqpu'>"? Seems to
me this is impossible with our present understanding of grammar.
