There are a couple of sentences.First, .."No ,you didn´t expect him to get kiiled."You just expected him to kill some one else.." The message is about deathe and the lady talks as if referring to a place that needed cleaning.

Second,.."they weren´t there because they had any say about it.."Again there is sarcasm in the idea that , though human beings, theyare in such a low position that they do not even deserve to utter a word.

Thirdly, .. you thought it would be right.....to kill the sons...miserable mothers.."The sentence contains sarcasm as it expresses an idea of doing away with what is useless.

Last, ...What you got that black.."She means that there is no reason to be mourning by wearing black clothes, a shawl.She is sarcastic because she is thankful for a deat."You thought it would be all right..".." to kill the sons of those h to prevent other deaths.
