[Applause] on Friday evening you stole the life of an exceptional person the love of my life the mother of my son but you will not have my hatred I don't know who you are and I don't want to know you are dead Souls if it's God for whom you kill so blindly made us in His image then every bullet in the body of my wife is a wound in his heart so no I will not give you the gift of hating you you obviously wanted but responding to it with anger would be to give in to the same ignorant that made you what you are you would like me to be scared for me to look at my fellow citizens with a suspicious eye for me to sacrifice my liberty for my security you have lost I saw her this morning at last after nights and days of waiting she was as beautiful as when she left on Friday evening as beautiful as when I fell head-over-heels in love with her more than 12 years ago of course I'm devastated with grief I will give you this tiny victory but it will be short-lived I know she will join us every day and we will find each other in the paradise of free Souls which you will never have access to there are only two of us my son and I but we will be stronger than every army in the world I cannot waste any more time on you as I must go back to my son who has just woken up from his sleep he is only just 17 months old he's going to eat his snack just like every other day and then we are going to play just like every other day and all his life this little boy will be happy and free because you don't have his hatred either and Tuan Larry's [Applause]
