Ali was being a snot for not talking with Johnny when all Johnny wanted to do was talk. There is much debate over whether Johnny or Daniel was in the right or wrong, Johnny snatched Ali's radio and slammed it in the sand and Daniel came charging at Johnny. What is sometimes mentioned but often overlooked was the fact that Ali was having an attitude. Johnny was asking for so little, as Johnny said so himself, "All I wanted to do was talk," if Ali had cooperated about talking with Johnny, then none of what happened would've happened.
