Is this an urban legend?

I heard that a gang in some SC city has as their initiation that the candidate has to kidnap or kill a WalMart employee.

I'm sure gangs do have some pretty rough initiations, but this sounds over the top.

I didn't find this on snopes.com, but it sounds like it might be an urban legend.

Anybody else hear this?

3. The urban legend around my high school back in the 90's was

that Bob Weir of the Grateful Dead used to eat mashed potatoes out of Andy Warhol's asshole. I grew up in Connecticut; anyone else ever hear of this? Didn't think so.

Sometimes urabn legends are so highly localized that they never leave a certain city.
