I don't see how 'redneck' plays into this. One guy was drunk, had a knife and the other stabbed him in defense.
Sounds like ANYWHERE USA to me.

And how, pray tell, would you define "redneck behavior"?

quote:Redneck is a disparaging [1] term that refers to a person who is stereotypically Caucasian and of lower social-economic status in the United States, particularly referring to those living in rural areas. Originally limited to the Southern United States,[2] and then to Appalachia,[3] the term has become widely used throughout North America.
The term has been used for different groups in different time periods. The most common American usage, that of the working class rural white Southerner, is generally believed to derive from individuals having a red neck caused by working outdoors in the sunlight over the course of their lifetime
