A rent-a-thug is a person who rents himself out in the name of thuggery, lethal or otherwise. In exchange for
money, he will commit crimes for you. The amount of
money required to successfully rent the thug will usually increase with the severity of the crime - i.e., it will cost more for him to kill your in-laws than to
rob the corner store for
food. As with almost any service, rates vary wildly and can also be negotiated. Rent-a-thugs can be employed on a
single-assignment, multi-assignment, or permanent basis, depending on the circumstances and
money paid. Rent-a-thugs provide a very convenient way to mount assaults on offending parties; provided the rent-a-thug is a professional and does not confess to the
police, the crime is never traced back to you. The truly valuable rent-a-thugs are never caught, and the ones who are promptly take their own lives, usually by swallowing cyanide pills and the like. It is wise to be extremely careful of whom you employ.
