When the court goes to recess, Henry turns furiously to Alice and says he “don’t want to hear it”, an example of verbal violence due to anger, because the Press accused Henry of brutally killing Jose Williams and the judge took the side of the jury and overstepped his bounds of power by treating the gang and Henry unfairly. Henry reacted violently because this was a case in which many authority figures were openly discriminating against him simply because of his ethnicity in a professional setting.

Henry strikes the guard because the guard tauntingly asks if Henry thinks he himself is “something special”, which shows that this assault was only prompted by corruption within the system of justice and unfair treatment; he chooses not to remain calm because being provoked by authority has become to recurrent and

Johnny was continuously being assaulted by Socs looking for trouble and he would never fully recover from the trauma in which he has been through.
Ponyboy’s initial attitude towards the Socs was all about looking cool and tuff all the time. He was raised that way, trained to hate the rich. “Greasers can’t walk alone too much or they’ll get jumped.” This shows that Ponyboy was trained at a very young age to be on the lookout for Socs at all times.
