Fake website RentAHitman.com has snagged another would-be killer-for-hire after a US soldier applied to be an assassin and accepted his first (fake) mission apparently believing it to be real.

Josiah Garcia, a Tennessee air national guardsman, was arrested after federal agents said he responded to an online ad through the parody website. …

They spoke about the supposed job, including whether he was willing to torture people and cut off fingers or ears. Garcia responded positively. Asked why he wanted to get involved, Garcia told the agent that he was looking into civilian law enforcement but wanted to do something more exciting.

[*Another* would-be hitman? This happened before? Good Lord. For some reason, this reminded me of the light-grenade sequence from the otherwise-forgettable “Mom and Dad Save the World”. — Ed]
