Dally is considered an outcast even among the Greasers, known for his reckless and violent behavior. Throughout the novel, he shows no remorse for his actions and even seems to revel in causing chaos and trouble. The other boys, particularly Ponyboy and Johnny, are often wary of Dally and his influence on their lives, recognizing that his impulsive and destructive nature can lead them down dangerous paths.
When Dally is arrested for stealing and resisting arrest, the rest of the Greasers do not actively try to help him out of the legal consequences of his actions. They are aware that Dally has little regard for the law and that attempting to intervene would only worsen the situation.
Dally's relationship with the other boys is complex and fraught with tension. While he is part of the Greasers and shares their social identity, his individualistic and self-destructive tendencies set him apart from the group. The boys may feel sympathy or concern for Dally as a fellow outsider, but they ultimately prioritize their own safety and well-being over blindly supporting his actions.
