Question:
9. Timid owes money to Mobster, a loan shark. When the money is overdue, Mobster sends his henchman, Hulk, a large and scary-looking man, to try to collect the debt from Timid. Hulk goes to Timid’s house, and while standing in the foyer, says to Timid, “If you don’t have the money back by next Thursday, with the 2% per week vigorish, next Friday I’m gonna shoot out both your kneecaps. Think about what it’ll be like for a young man like yourself to spend the next thirty, forty years on crutches.” Tina, Timid’s wife, watches this conversation, and Hulk knows she is watching. Both Timid and Tina become extremely terrified, and go into hiding, where Hulk has been unable to find them. What tort(s) have been committed by Hulk, and against whom?
