How would you react if you were on a flight where a family was boo'd for being allowed off the plane first to receive their soldier's body?

That's very disrespectful!

Ask how many of them had lost a family member in the service of their country. Yes, shame them , because they should be ashamed.

I would immediately stand up and salute the family.Any person or persons that could be that callous have honed their opinions over a long period of time.A confrontation would serve no purpose.Unfortunately ,they would be offloaded before me since they are in first class,Otherwise a well directed elbow to the back of the head on my way by,followed by an excuse me,would get the point across.

I forget which airport I was in but I saw a contingent of Red Jackets heading in the same direction I was. They stopped a few doors down from my gate and were waiting with several gate agents, security and what I assumed were family members. Of course, the plane was late, but it finally arrived. I don't know what went on inside the plane, but I watched a whole lot of people inside the terminal start standing up and going to the position of attention. I don't know who that Marine was, or the circumstances of their death, but those things don't matter. I saw a lot of fellow service members paying their respect. Quite moving. Being boo'd off a plane - that I would place squarely at the foot of the airline (if they did not get on the intercom and let people know what was going one) and if the airline did that, well, you just can't deal with stupid.

I'd be a total ass once the family were outside.

Probably go to jail for feeding the POS a Knuckle Sandwich

Follow them to airport parking and mug them: joking, joking. We fight for the right of free speech even unsavory speech.

I'd be embarrassed if I heard someone boo a family & probably would be in their face over it. Being a USN/FMF Retired Vietnam Veteran. The family has my utmost respect & condolences with a salute to boot.

Would not be pretty.

People in general, are awful. There are anecdotal exceptions but one thing Trump did exceptionally well, was that he really brought out the worst in people, on both sides, but for me, mainly the left. The left has essentially regressed back to the Vietnam era days in how they treat veterans. And worse, they are encouraged to do so on social media. Want to be a hero to the socialist/communist/liberal crowd? Disrespect a soldier, police officer, or their families. Class and consideration are at an all-time low, at least at an all-time low in my lifetime. Never underestimate how low they will go, because they will always find a way to exceed that.

What would I do? Nothing. Because these kind of people are beyond lecturing, confronting or otherwise correcting. They are lost because they've never suffered in life, never felt real pain or hardship. Most of their problems are made-up First World problems. They've never been really inconvenienced and most hate America because it's fashionable these days to do so in liberal circles. Rest assured, a reckoning of some sort is coming, but more on that later.

I am not going to waste my time on a public confrontation as it will accomplish nothing, and possibly escalate the situation to the point where Law Enforcement needs to respond. That won't help me, the family, or the other passengers not involved. I will however, try to pay my respects to the family and ask if they need anything. Maybe if I am up in First Class (hey, it could happen, I've been lucky and upgraded before) I might blurt out a "Shut the F up!" out of reflex, but being back in the cheap seats, I can only make sure they get past my row quickly and offer my condolences.

I am a big fan of Karma - and as I age, and have more patience, I've seen karma realized more and more in my life. Kidd Rock said it best, "You get what you put in, and people get what they deserve." They do indeed.
