Bob and Randy had come to beat up Johnny and Ponyboy because of the rivalry between the Socs and the Greasers. The Socs viewed the Greasers as their enemies due to their different socioeconomic backgrounds and clashed frequently. Bob and Randy likely targeted Johnny and Ponyboy as a way to assert their dominance and intimidate the Greasers.
Since the Socs don't have anything to worry about whereas the Greasers always have to keep their guard up for beatups from the rival gangs, like the Socs.

In the novel "The Outsiders" by S.E. Hinton, there were seven Socs present at the rumble. The Socs were the wealthy, privileged social group in the story, known for their rivalry with the Greasers. The rumble was a physical fight between the Greasers and the Socs, organized to settle their ongoing conflict. The Socs outnumbered the Greasers, but the Greasers ultimately emerged victorious in the rumble.
Yes and no. It's rather hard to explain this one. After the rumble, the Greasers gained some respect from the Socs, but they never really got along afterwards. There was still tension between them due to the views of society.
