Links on the Wilson Ramos Kidnapping
Our thoughts are with Wilson Ramos and his family and friends today as his kidnapping continues to loom large. There is nothing that I can say on the topic with any real authority, so for more I'll direct you to a few places where you can learn more. Twinkie Town wishes for a swift and safe return.

I mentioned this in the fanshot
but, Seth retweeted a rumor that there is malware going around claiming to be video of the kidnapping. Needless to say, don’t click it.

This is horrible news
Did not see this earlier and when the page first opened I assumed it was some sort of joke. Wish it was. Hopefully they are able to find him healthy and unharmed.
