(146,908 posts)what they said - that they did it to "scare" (which was probably the intent). However after that huge shotgun took Billy out and one of them exclaimed "What happened?"... the resulting "We better go back" made it seem like they were going to return to try to help, and of course, that did not become the reason for that remark. I knew it as soon as they turned around and knew what the result was going to be when you see Wyatt charging at them on his bike (the same conclusion that actually appeared a few times during their LSD trip).
I think what you wrote about why would someone would give those guys the finger, can be explained as being due to that "disconnect" between the urban (drug trafficking) Billy and his inability/refusal to judge the intent/humanity (or lack thereof in this case) of the rural folk who he insulted. They don't really give the character much of a backstory but you could deduce that he had seen some things being in the business that he was in. But then the character was usually the more belligerent of the pair in general (although he was also the sillier/more fun-loving one too - which made him a sympathetic character).
