you jackasses / you bastards / you....
depends on the kind of language you want to use.....if you're not afraid to be too expletive you could eve use "motherfuckers"

: Concordo com as suas sugestões, Gilmar, mas acho que o "M________s" não cairia bem, pois o original não é tão agressivo (se em português constasse "seus m___s" essa seria uma boa tradução).

Point taken. Agree. Like I said it will really depend on the full context and how Katherine wants to convey it, if she feels she has literary license to use expletives and so on.....

Há várias maneiras corretas de dizer isso, mas eu optaria por uma dessas.

you dullards / dolts
Alternatives to Marcelo's suggestions. These two are actualy annoying, though. Just like "bestas".
