I think such idiocy is actually more rare, hence it makes the news, but still...sheesh!
I have:
Called 911 for an obvious drunk driver on more than one occasion.
Stopped and pulled over to help a disabled biker.
Had a woman pull off the road because her tire was flat.
Constantly bend over to pick up whatever fell for people.
Offered my witness to more than one car accident.

Small things and I know there's more of the same, but is it that hard for someone to take 10 seconds to help?
It's hard for me to believe that it must be for some people. It's unimaginable to me--I can't not help. I deliberately took first aid and CPR training, as well as biohazard training, out of a desire to help people. I'm becoming a teacher because I want to help. I hold doors open, I've changed tires for people, and I contend that we can fight one H word--"hate"--with another--"help."

It seems to me that people like the ones in the OP never learned the value of helping others. Charity is a virtue some are unfamiliar with, I suppose--yet I wonder how many of the people in the OP's article expect help or a handout when it's needed?

I suppose it's a little vindictive, but I do have a small hope that karmic or divine retribution will come back to bite them. I hope in that experience that they do learn the value of giving, helping, and caring for your fellow man.
