This is terrible, but Spandam easily would have won if he’d have just stopped kicking Robin down the stairs. For all he goes off about the cold arithmetic of the justice he espouses, Spandam is too feeling and sentimental to get Robin through the Gates of Justice before he starts gloating. Again and again in One Piece we see villains foiled by their own petty, pointless cruelty, and in this case its especially satisfying.
This is a fantastic and terrifying line that goes a long way in explaining how the World Government can justify their many atrocities committed throughout the series.
If you recall at the end of the Alabasta arc when she was making her way towards the tombs, Robin really hates the World Government. Like, violently hates them to the core of her being.
 (For reference: Most of the people in this picture end up with broken necks)
But despite that hatred, Robin’s concern now isn’t just for thy are Straw Hat Pirates. She begs for everyone, marine and criminal alike, to flee Enies Lobby before it gets burnt to ashes. And while I think some of that is character development related--Robin’s head space at the end of the Alabasta arc is drastically different than where she’s at now--I also think that the horror of the Buster Call is burned that deeply into her consciousness.
She was okay with millions of innocent people dying from Crocodile’s bomb, but she wants to save the thousands of Enies Lobby, even if they are technically her enemies.

I think the main reason Oda had Spandam transmit the news of the Buster Call over the entire island is to easily disseminate the information to all the main characters, but in addition to being perfectly in character it again shows the humanity of “the criminal” Robin in contrast to Spandam’s inhumanity when it comes to the Buster Call.
I get the feeling that even the snail phone thinks Spandam is an idiot.
People say there isn’t character development in One Piece, but just compare Nami’s response here to how she freaked out at the end of the Skypiea arc
