Another behavior not discussed in the linked article, one that I have personally experienced, is an increasingly loud voice, or larger and larger gestures, or pacing back and forth faster and faster, as an attacker works up their courage/anger/crazy to a point where they are excited enough to overcome their cowardice and attack another person.
A quick “No, thank you!” and moving away works. The person working themselves up to an assault will wonder why you’re thanking them, and then you are not there any more. This works very well with aggressive panhandlers who might become muggers.

What a complete crock of shit…here’s the tl;dr version:
Situational awareness is a sense; use it. If you sense a threat, retreat if you can and be ready with your weapon if you can’t.
And there’s the old saw…be prepared to kill everyone around you.
Getting all involved with the psycho-babble in that piece is only good for two things; getting yourself killed or writing another dumbass “expert” book.

Close to 30 years ago I had the misfortune of working with a very angry and emotionally unstable man. He was always angry. Basically chain smoked even though we worked in a supermarket meat department and he chewed aspirin like Skittles for his constant headaches. I was very strong then. I was going through a bitter divorce, but had sought out counselling to help me deal.
One day at work he got angry at me. Big surprise. He acused me of abusing my soon to be ex-wife. I said oh no. I’ve never abused another being in my life. He said he’d heard that and was gonna kick my ass.
I stepped back, calmly removed my knife sheath and laid it on the table. Then I stepped back in. I told him I’d never started a fight in my my life, but If he laid a hand on me I would gladly work out all my frustration and anger on him. He quickly backed down.
Don’t be a victim. Be strong. Be alert and aware. That mindset has served me well. And has helped preserve my loved ones as we well.
Good advice uncle.
