Because Dally had been one of their gang and they wouldn't desert him . :)
Well, he was from New York, had been in a real gang, and he mentioned himself that when he went to jail he got cold and hard. That's what I think, at least.
Cherry explains to Ponyboy that there was a side of Bob that not everybody saw that made you want to follow him. Ponyboy knew that she saw this in Dally, and that was why she was afraid to see him and love him.
*contains spoilers*Johnny compares Dally to the gallant Southern gentlemen in Gone With the Wind because, well, Dallas is gallant. Johnny proves this by telling a story of how Two-Bit broke out the windows in a school. The cops thought it was Dally and arrested him. Dally didn't throw a fit, or defend himself, or even bat an eye. He took the sentence as it was given to him. How gallant is that?! Dally took a punishment he didn't deserve to protect Two-Bit, even though he knew he didn't deserve the sentence. Dally had been in jail off and on since he was ten. He had been hardened at a young age. Two-Bit may have been in jail before, he may have not, but either way, Dally was protecting him from becoming hardened, the way Dally himself was.Johnny's comparing this to the Southern gentlemen in Gone With the Wind because the Southern gentlemen "rode into sure death because they were gallant". Think about Dally's death. In a similar sense, he "rode" into it, knowing full well that he would be killed. Besides the fact that he wanted to go out with a bang, he was going to make sure he would die gallant, too. The one thing he lived for was taken from him, and he didn't have anything else to love. Not even his life. If you don't think about it the way it is, Dally seems stupid for bluffing with the cops and getting himself killed. But really, it was a heroic gesture. He was gonna make sure he was gonna be with Johnny, even if that meant he didn't get to live.**Source: Chapter 5 of The Outsiders, and my heart.
Pony decided that Dally couldn't take Johnny's death because Johnny was so young and good. Dally thought that was the reason Johnny died, from saving the kids from the fire. Dally was mad, because if Johnny was not as good, he might have been alive.
Johnny loved Dally in a way that Johnny had never been loved before. He wanted Dally to know that just because they were greasers, they were people, too.
i think the story would have been better if it had a better ending.but it doesnt matter on the basis of the narrator.
Dally Messenger was born on April 12, 1883 and died on November 24, 1959. Dally Messenger would have been 76 years old at the time of death or 132 years old today.

Dallas helps Johnny by saving him from the burning church and he helps Ponyboy by putting out the fire out from his back.
Dally.
He is scared for many reasons. One reason is that they can take him away from his brothers and put him in a boy's home. The people of that time are going to believe the police even if they make something up. Not many people of that time are not going to think a greaser is honest about something. So it all boils down to him being a greaser and the police not liking greasers very much or at all.
