How do you think the Socs felt after Bob was stabbed?

According to Cherry and Randy Adderson, Bob Sheldon was a good friend and was considered a leader among their group of Socs. Cherry told Ponyboy that there was something special about Bob that made him stand out from the crowd, and Randy said that Bob was the best buddy a guy could ever have. Needless to say, Bob Sheldon was a popular, respected individual that all the Socs looked up to. Given the Socs' natural contempt for the Greasers, the majority of the Socs would have felt sad and angry that Bob had died at the hands of a Greaser. Revenge would have been the first thing on their mind because the stabbing added fuel to the already overwhelming animosity the Socs felt towards the Greasers. Cherry is heartbroken that she lost her boyfriend, and Randy feels numb and helpless that he lost his best friend. The other members of the Socs would most likely experience grief and anger when they find out that Bob was stabbed to death.
