Let me preface this by saying that my sense of humor is very dark and often adolescent at best. I often make light of the more macabre things in life. It has nothing to do with me being a heartless jerk. I am just of the belief that anything and everything should be the subject of humor. If I spent my life grieving over all the horrid things in our world, I would be a very sad person. That being said, please do not read any further if you are easily offended. Seriously.

The two suspects in the violent abduction of a food deliveryman in Fredericksburg on Thursday night were arrested yesterday at a Wal-Mart in Franklin in southeastern Virginia.
Jermaine Montgomery, 34, and his girlfriend, 36-year-old Marcey White, are charged with being the persons responsible for the brutal ambush of Yong Hui Zhang.
The two were taken into custody without incident by two state police special agents, an FBI agent and sheriff’s deputies from Southampton County.
They had used a credit card belonging to Zhang to make purchases at the Wal-Mart and went back into the store to buy more when they were arrested, said Fredericksburg police spokeswoman Natatia Bledsoe
Zhang, 24, was making a delivery for his parents’ China Express restaurant when he was attacked behind a vacant apartment at 202 Charles St. and abducted.
A large amount of Zhang’s blood and one of his shoes were found at the scene; Zhang and his vehicle were still missing as of last night. If Zhang is still alive, he would have to be severely injured, police said.

UPDATE:
What is believed to be the body of Yong Hui Zhang, the food delivery man abducted Friday night, has been found in Sussex County, about 110 miles south of Fredericksburg where he was ambushed.
It was found by State Police agents, who had arrested Jermaine Montgomery and Marcie White and charged them with his abduction hours earlier at a Wal-Mart in Franklin, a city in southeastern Virginia.
Zhang’s missing 2004 Nissan Sentra was also located in Sussex, but it was not with the remains, said Natatia Bledsoe, city police spokeswoman.
A third subject was in the Wal-Mart when they were arrested. There are no charges against that person at this time.
The cause of death for Zhang has not yet been determined.
Investigators are still on the scene gathering evidence and the case is ongoing. Details regarding additional charges against the suspects will likely not be available until Monday morning due to the focus on evidence collection at multiple crime scenes.
“We are deeply saddened by this tragic turn of events,” said Fredericksburg Chief David Nye. “Our hearts go out to the Zhang family for their terrible loss.”

So when I read the terrible news this morning, I sent my friend Brandon a text message letting him know about the news.
David: Chinese food guy is dead.
Brandon:It was a wonton act of violence. Get it?
David: HI-OOOO!!
Brandon: I’m glad the cops didn’t egg drop the ball on this one.
Brandon: It’s good they decided to spring roll into action.
David: It’s sad he’s dead, but I’m glad they found the killers. It’s sweet and sour.
Brandon: Wow. You totally win.
Nicely played, boys.
Very clever. I’m sure you both are feeling very smug.
What color hand baskets will you be venturing to hell in?
That’s a hard question. I mean there are so many variables one had to consider. Do I want to go to hell in the winter? I would need a fleece hand-basket. Or maybe the summer. In that case, it would have to be a well ventilated hand-basket.
Fleece? Well-ventilated? What a pussy.
