If you walk over and tell them to stop and that you have a pregnant wife in there, they continue and give you the finger.
Otherwise, or if you undo the previous step I wrote, what would you do?

First of all, RIP soldier...
Now, with no means to disrespect any of the involved parties, IMHO this is a good example of how avoid-fu would have kept the husband/father alive and the college boy going with a good start in life by having college degree & clean record.
I personally has exercised avoid fu in similar scenarios:
- Some dude kept honking at parking lot, trying to get my attention, and then talked smart and tried to get into my nerve. He then started honking again.
I walked away.
- Some gangsta-punks-filled car stopped by me at a red light and one of them started demanding attention. When I looked away, the name-calling began.
I drove away.
not afraid of death, I'm just not too keen of a dog's death.
Just like "law-fu" (learning and being aware of preclusion etc.) and "kung-fu," (all the skills etc. etc.) "avoid-fu is hardly easy as it involves slaying your own ego.
avoid-fu --> law-fu --> kung-fu
The set of OODA-integrated SOPs I learn to abide by at least here being a civvie in the states (esp. big cities).
