What happens after Johnny kills Bob in The Outsiders?
After Bob's death, Ponyboy and Johnny flee to the countryside. In their absence, some characters such as the Greasers Tim and Dally become angrier and more vengeful.

Johnny reacts so violently to the Socs in "The Outsiders" because he has a history of being victimized by them, particularly when he was severely beaten by a group of Socs prior to the events of the story.
Major plot points occur in Chapter Four of The Outsiders. In this chapter, Johnny Cade, who is one of the Greasers, kills Bob, the leader of the Socs group.
Johnny Cade is sixteen years old and a member of the Greasers gang. Ponyboy describes him as a puppy that has been kicked too many times, he has dark eyes and long dark hair, and he is slight for his age. Johnny has been beaten by his father and emotionally abused by his mother throughout his childhood and adolescence.
He took action without thinking through the consequences, driven by his own trauma and anger at the Socs for hurting his friend. Later, he regretted his actions, but by then, the deed had been done.
Darry tells Randy that Ponyboy is racked up physically and so emotionally stressed that he doesn't remember what really happened and that's why he thinks he killed Bob. Pony pretends he killed Bob and that Johnny isn't dead because he figured it wouldn't hurt as much.
Bob Sheldon was the attacker and was going to kill Ponyboy. Johnny Cade is not a murderer, but a loyal friend who had to protect his friend. His actions were justified and he must be found not guilty because he acted only to protect the life of another.
Johnny is claimed guilty for the murder because he wanted revenge against Bob, he could have only easily injured Bob, and he and Pony fled from the crime scene and got a gun from Dally.
One reason Johnny and Ponyboy react so differently after the incident with Bob in The Outsiders is that Johnny has a traumatic background and naturally calm disposition.
Even though The Outsiders is fictional, the book is based in S.E. Hinton's hometown of Tulsa, Oklahoma. Hinton published the book in 1967 and the story takes place in the same time period. Though the book may feel like historical fiction for today's readers, it was a work of contemporary fiction when Hinton wrote it.

The beating wasn't what had changed Johnny, it was the fact that they had scared him. Johnny never walked alone anymore, and he vowed that he would kill the next person who jumped him.
Randy explains to Ponyboy that they will need to talk with the judge next week and encourages him to tell the truth because he knows that Ponyboy did not kill Bob, but that his dark-haired friend, Johnny did. Ponyboy insists that he had the knife and he had killed Bob.
He continues by stating that Pony isn't guilty of any crime and Johnny was the one who wielded the knife. At this pronouncement, Ponyboy erupts, "I had the knife. I killed Bob." Randy is confused but continues to correct Pony and assure him that Johnny killed Bob.
