So, yeah - anyone who would defend Crum's actions, because of the double yellow or something, has issues.

First post under the op reads, "Double yellow."
Later, this, "Bike rider passing in dbl. yellow and even if it wasn't, unlawful to pass multiple vehicles. Single only."
The thread then evolves into discussions of whether or not the driver's story is to be believed--he claimed he was stung by a wasp, remember? Nearly all agree that the motorcyclist should be cited but also agree that Crum should be prosecuted. No one really defended Crum's actions, unless you count those who were willing give the benefit of the doubt to his story, and those were ones who really just wanted to let an investigation determine the facts.
Our memories, which tend to recall only highlights of events the more that time passes, may lead us to "believe" that there was a strong support for Crum and against the motorcyclist, when, in fact, it was more complicated.
