i don't know if it's the worst thing ever but it's certainly horrendous. the whole of what they did to him is like they were running their own little auschwitz. i imagine they were doing it for much the same reason the men who ran the camp were, to feel powerful and important. the first time they dominated the victim they probably felt powerful for the first time in their pitiful lives and became hooked to their 'power'. humanity has this incessant need to subjugate one another. everywhere humans can subjugate, from the extreme violence of genocide to the more subtle politics of the workplace, we do...what these useless humans did falls somewhere in the middle of these.
