The residents of Riverton had gathered in the park on the Fourth of July to see fireworks illumine the night sky.

The biker jerks' slop-bucket mouths were the subject of Ennis's wrath.

"L" is loudmouth

After Ennis kicks biker #1 right in the face, bloodying his nose and knocking him out cold, biker #2 decides not to be a loudmouth anymore today.

"M" is mumbles

BIKER #1
(mumbles to his friend)
Asshole. Probably stopped givin' it to his wife after the kids come, you know what that’s like. 57 footnote for this line:

57: It seems to be this remark that triggers Ennis’s anger. Clearly, the biker hits a sore spot. This reaffirms the impression that already at this time marital relations between Alma and Ennis are less than satisfactory. It also ties in with the castration theme of scenes 31 and 133.

Ennis, Alma, and the girls had gone to the fireworks demonstration to celebrate the nationally recognized birthday of the United States:  the Fourth of July.

"O" is ominously

When Alma saw how ominously Ennis was regarding the bikers, she tried to get him to agree to move somewhere else.

Alma seems to have put a lot of energy into the preparation for a family picnic on the Fourth of July 1966.

"S" is scaring

The bikers were scaring Alma and the girls, but Ennis' reaction to them scared Alma even more.

"T" is troubling

Ennis's reaction to the bikers was more troubling than their slop-bucket remarks.
