Last night, a fist fight had broken out in an empty lot at around seven oclock, it was between
two groups of high schoolers, many of which attend Oklahoma High School, and a couple adults that
were just a little older by a couple years. One group referred to themselves as the Greasers and the
others the Socials. According to eyewitnesses there were about 20 Socials and about 20 Greasers
that were in the fight. The Greasers have a background of being poor, while the Socials are the
more wealthy. From a few interviews from the Socials, this fight was over the Socials coming into the
Greasers Territory. Crossing territory was a big concern because a boy was killed over there in the
past month, this was after beating up and almost drowning a Greaser. `

High Schoolers fight in turf war and many injured (continued):
For the people that weren't caught in the fight, they are still anonymous because both sides agreed that
the names wouldnt be told so nobody would go to jail. Although nobody was hurt, viewers noticed that
almost everyone was injured, but only a few were severely injured. The fight ended with the Socials
retreating and the Greasers winning the rumble, so the Socials aren't allowed on that part of town
now.

There were no deaths caused by the fight, but one casualty after the fight. One person that was
involved in the fight was Dallas Winston, one of three boys who helped save the children from the
burning church. While recovering in the hospital, Winston threatened a nurse with a knife, so he could
leave the hospital. It was confirmed by a few interviews that Dallas Winston went to the fight after
leaving the hospital. Winston had a previous records of juvenile detention, so him being killed by the
law on purpose is a shock.

After winning he rushed to see his friend Johnny and spread the news, just to see him die in front of
him. Later that night, he pointed a gun at a cop and was shot by the cop, almost like killing himself.
According to friends the gun was empty and the stunt was intentional, So, he finally broke, Even
Dally has a breaking point, said his friend Keith Mathews.

Friends were devastated after the death of Dallas and Johnny, out of all of their friends, Ponyboy Curtis
was impacted the most. He was so devastated that he made up stories about how everything that
Johnny did wrong he did. After the death of Johnny Ponyboy made up more and more stories, all
stating that Johnny was not dead. Ponyboys doctor stated, The kid has gone through a terrible loss,
all he needs is some time to let it sink in that they're dead. It was a very rough night for all of these
people.
