WHAT I WOULD SAY TO YIGAL AMIR

Anyway Yigal Amir you shot a great man in the
back and you shouldn’t have.
A guy who just got off an Israeli stage singing a freakin peace song.
You've got a real sense of the moment Yigal Amir and it's sick.

If there is such a thing as time travel, Yigal Amir,
I pray that someday
every one of your smiles is taken back from you,
from your mommy's arms to the cell that holds you now.
You shouldn’t have done that, Yigal Amir
