What can I do to stop this?

I once had two friends who were late to raid because they didn't want to leave early from an A3 group in df. They didn't want to leave because of the 30 minute penalty, but the group there was 6/8 premade and were purposely wiping to keep them there because one of them told the group to hurry because they had to get to raid. So according to Winsock, my friends were the guilty party because they would have gotten a 30 minute penalty for leaving. That is what I am understanding here. And since my friends couldn't kick anyone because it was 2 against 6, I suppose that means SE is perfectly fine with that behavior.

First off, your friends have poor time management skills and shouldn't keep their static waiting. That was selfish.

Second, your friends dictating to another premade that they need to hurry up would also be a little rude. It's unfair to assume this other premade's skill level was where they could just "hurry up". But who knows, I will give them the benefit of the doubt and assume they asked nicely and gave reasons.

Third, if this other premade was actually wiping to prevent your friends from joining your raid, then no. Obviously no one would resent your friends for leaving a situation where they were being harassed and kept from completing the objective of the instance. However, that is a bold claim. If your friends really managed to upset 6 people to the point where they would ignore their own goals and just troll as long as possible, then I would seriously question how your friends were acting. I'm sure the other premade had better things to do. Or... maybe that was a lie and they were dealing with a progressing premade and put their extra attempts in this premade over your static's agreed upon start time.
