lout
How about lout? According to dictionary.com, lout means "an awkward, stupid person; clumsy, ill-mannered boor; oaf". If so, it perfectly fits the context. Please note that all maganda are considered stupid to some extend that they themselves are not aware of it :) So, such a clumsy person can be bully/rude/redneck if strong, social scum/bum regardles of their power :) Just as another idea, redneck is mostly used for barbaric people only, but especially for the police in southern states like Texas.

ATIL KAYHAN
: Burada kültürel bir boyut da var, örnegin bizdeki maganda tam olarak baska bir ülkede yok, ABD'deki "red neck" de bizde yok, bunlar sadece kendi ülkesine özgü kavramlar. Ben içlerinden bunu daha çok begendim.

There are dozens of possible words in English. This one, used in British English, is one such possibility.

İngiltere'de çok sık kullanılan bir terim efendim. Bir varyant olarak "yobbo" da kullanılır. Ame bir Amerikalı hiç bir şey anlayamaz bundan.

'Chav' is frequently used with this meaning in contemporary British slang.
