Personally I'd just shoot them, no two ways about it. Sick f*cking shitbags. I hope they serve every single minute of the maximum sentence of 25 years. Every single minute.

Police have arrested two Shirley men for a crime they are describing as "cruel and saddistic" against a 21-year-old developmentally disabled man in the bathroom of a bowling alley in Shirley on Sunday.
Police said Steven Rodriguez, 19, of 117 Hounslow Rd., approached the 21-year-old victim outside the bowling alley Sunday evening and began picking on him. The victim entered the AMF Shirley Lanes on the Green, off William Floyd Parkway, and was following by Rodriguez and another man, Michael Lunsford, 17, of 106 Lexington Ave.
Police said Lundsford held the victim down while Rodriguez sexually assaulted the victim with a metal toilet cleaning tool known as a closet snake. The plumbing tool, which is used to unclog drains, was forced into the worker's rectum and spun it several times, causing him severe pain, internal injury and bleeding, according to a police news release.
The snake was removed at Brookhaven Memorial Hospital, police said. No information on the victim's condition was available last night.
Rodriguez was arrested Monday and arraigned Tuesday in First District Court, Central Islip. He was ordered held on $100,000 cash bail, or $200,000 bond, at the Riverhead jail. Lunsford was arrested yesterday and was being held at the Seventh Precinct for arraignment today in First District Court.
Both men faces charges of first-degree aggravated sexual abuse, police said.
First-degree sexual assault is a Class B felony, punishable upon conviction by up to 25 years' imprisonment.
Last night at the bowling alley, a man who identified himself as a former employee said people who were there on Saturday told him that the victim and one of the suspects had a confrontation that day outside the bowling alley.
"But I don't know what could have prompted this," the former employee, who declined to be identified, said of the alleged attack.
The former employee said he was "dumbfounded" when he heard about the alleged attack on the disabled man. "This is something that's going to stay with him for the rest of his life," he said.
