I can pretty much see how this came down. Coupla' youngin's partying on a sandbar in the River, trying' to cool off on a hot humid summer day, doin' a little drinkin', sittin' around a fire, tossing' bottles in the River which is common and traditional. Then ... Dudley Do-Right, some Northern Yankee type, wanders into the scene and gives a stern lecture on 'environmentalism'.
If it helps any, think of Mardi Gras and a group of kids drinking and watching a Parade. And some old guy walks up to them and says "Throwing your beer can on the ground is littering".
It's fucked up all around. But yeah, they all probably do own MAGA hats, ... it's Louisiana, ... and 10 miles from Mississippi.
