How do you figure that for a racial slur? And my opinion has nothing to do with them being from the south.
If not racial definitely regional. But it's all.okay if your saying it about us southerners. I've heard it all my life. I no sooner have to introduce myself and my accent gives it away and hear come the jokes. In my time I've been called a klansman, bubba, good old boy, cracker, redneck, hillbilly TO MY FACE. Then some news item like this comes along and the rest of the country dog piles on them dumb hicks down south. I for one am sick of it.

It explains your sensitivity. Redneck does not have a southern connotation, at least not to me. You can be a redneck in any part of the Country. Same goes for Barney Fife, If someone is a bumbling, inept cop or pretending to be one, It doesn't make a bit of difference to me where the idiot is from. Neither one of those terms are racist or regional.
Eh...wot?

Nightlife--every shoplifter has to leave the premises,before they could be arrested for shoplifting. They were all arrested on the same day. I was a lot faster afoot in those days. Tom

Warrior your argument holds no water on the regional slur.... Lugnut lives WAY closer to where the term redneck was coined than you. I've been called those names to my face as well and I live in the mountains of northern PA. Add in flatlander, yinzer, fayettenemian all because of where I grew up.
They weren't arrested at first because of the "good ole boys" club. It was only after the New York Times ran an article and the release of the video that the GBI stepped in an arrested them.

Southerners have been stereotyped on Tv and movies as sort of simpletons since way back in the 40's 50's and 60's. Gomer,Goober,Jethro,sherrifs/cops,etc on shows and movies like Andy Griffith,beverly hillbillies,dukes of hazzard,smokey and the bandit deliverance etc. I guess It sort of stuck.

1. Citizen apprehends and detains someone he suspects has committed a crime.
2. Citizen intervenes to stop someone in the act of committing a crime.
I think 2 is okay, but 1 has some issues, and you could be committing a crime by attempting it, depending on the city and state.
Jim I agree, I posted on account of #2 .

I've been called a redneck to elkaholic. It doesn't bother me a bit. I kinda am one. No your not, just people talking out of school. Northerners embraced it cause it was cool. You may resemble one, but rednecks imo are southern, doesn't start with the Miners either, goes back farther.
I wonder if tap dancers walk into a room, look at the floor, and think, I'd tap that. I wonder about things.....

Not sure about the 3rd man yet. I would say innocent till all the facts are in. I sure would hate to vote like hobbie ask until I know everything.

In my opinion, that is bullcrap.

That's your right Lug, and I appreciate it. Don't make it right though, Warrior had it right. Redneck got popular in WV because it made the bigtime papers for the Minors faught the Co men. Redneck imo is Southern rural white folk. If your in Appalachia you might could hold on to Hillbilly lol.
