I dunno what pissed me off more; none of the knuckleheads in that area ran over to make help the guy lift/spot when he was struggling or the jerks walking away giggling that the guy just dropped a crap load of 45lbs plates on the floor. I'm all for space and privacy when pumping iron but you see someone that might need help..just offer to thwart any danger of him getting seriously hurt!

I'd just say this. People generally aren't paying attention to what others are doing. If he needed a spot for the weight he was doing, he should have asked someone to spot him. I generally work out alone and will occasionally ask for a spot for the last set or two when I am going heavier, especially for a chest press. If he didn't know that he needed a spot, he's an idiot. I would never go close to a PR without a spot. Just saying, I blame the guy, not the onlookers.
