Johnny Cade isn’t a killer, but he was caught in a bad situation. He has a history with the Socs. He was jumped and beaten by the same person he killed. Johnny is the kind of person who wouldn’t hurt a fly, but now, he took the life of another human being. Johnny is in with the Greaser gang and their main enemy is the Socs. The Socs are the kids with the money and nice clothes and nice houses. The Greasers are the kids who do not have many nice things. Johnny was just at the wrong place at the wrong time.
Johnny panicked because the Socs were drowning Ponyboy. He took out his switch blade and drove it through the back of the leader of the Socs. The rest went running, but I’m sure they will never forgive him. The fact that Johnny killed their leader puts a big target on his head.
Johnny is mostly defenseless, other than the fact that he carries a switchblade. There is no reason why the Socs wouldn’t jump him again. The next time though, Ponyboy won’t be the focus. They will focus all of their hate of Greasers on Johnny. Johnny is now the number one enemy of the Socs.
Johnny has been beaten many times, by his father and other people including the socs. One instance, he was beaten to near death by them for just being a greaser. What do you think they will do to him now that they have a reason to hurt him? They will want revenge for their lost friend. They could kill him.

By killing that boy, Johnny sparked a flame in the everlasting war between the Socs and the Greasers. I feel that his actions will lead up to a confrontation between both sides. The Socs are ruthless. I doubt that they will forgive Johnny before the final showdown. Maybe after, if they realize that fighting doesn’t solve anything, they will learn to understand each other better. Both sides have good people on them. They are more alike than they seem.
