Is it just me, or is that the worst grammar and spelling you have ever seen by a widely published reputable media source???

Just to quote a couple:

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 Shirley.
"[The attack] appears to have been done to humiliate as well as assaul this young man," Dormer said.

Not to mention over use of the words "police said"

Don't they have someone PROOFREADING this stuff? My 3 year old nephew could have written a better article than this!

with his past history of violence and ridiculous threats, I say 25 years in prison (max possible sentence, apparently).

That is seriously a damn shame.

What compels people to do things like this?

Police said Rodriguez knew the victim from when both were living at Sagamore Children's Psychiatric Center in Dix Hills, which police described as a home for mentally disabled and troubled children. Rodriguez may have had a history of bullying the victim while both were living at the center, police said.

Life in prison is going overboard. Maybe 10-15.

He'll do time, and going by the tender young boyish looks of him, have a really unpleasant stay involving a lot of abuse to his orifices, before attempting to join a hispanic gang for protection, who won't take him cause he's a wuss whose only crimes are terroristic threats, attacking his own mother, and sodomizing a disabled person.

"Rodriguez has three prior arrests. On August 7, he was arrested after he threw a vacuum cleaner at his mother. He was also charged the same day with threatening another person with a pipe. In May, he was arrested after he called 911 and threatened to blow up a Pathmark in Shirley, police said."

It really seems like he would do crimes again when he gets out, he would still be young.

I wonder how the guy that had this happen to him feels about that? Wonder how any of us would feel? Personally, 25 years is a slap in the face for something that horrific.

Oh he'll spend life in prison, if not for this crime then for another he'll commit when he get's out. Odds are he'll be a predator in prison too. Hopefully he'll get offed by another prisoner.
