What does uncle hammer decide to do when he learns how mr.simms treated Cassie? Why doesn't he follow through? What do you think would have happened if he had?

Uncle Hammer wants to know if Mr. Simms pushed Cassie. He says he has his own gun to deal with Mr. Simms. . Mr. Morrison jumps in with the car to calm him down. I would have liked to do the same as Uncle Hammer. I think it would have been disastrous if he had gone through with it. Confronting Simms would have put the whole family in danger as well Hammer himself.
