And the relevance to Mr Garrity? 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
IronScorpion 1,407 Posted May 31, 2020 (edited) The relevance is to Law. Garrity carried out an unlawful act, threatening a woman with a knife. This lad causes ABH with life threatening injuries. I watch a bit of Police Interceptors on tv & fines do not fit the crimes. Edited May 31, 2020 by IronScorpion Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This lad causes ABH with life threatening injuries. I watch a bit of Police Interceptors on tv & fines do not fit the crimes. I still don’t see how this is relevant. Would Garritys threat have turned to murder had the women resisted? I do feel your application of the law and what certain terms mean is lacking. Watching tv police shows is often misleading.

One will never know.Sometimes it can be a split second or two decision, one can never tell under the circumstances what the outcome will be. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Diamondboy 677 Posted May 31, 2020 Just don’t see how offences under the Road Traffic Act can be compared with Robbery offences. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Berry9 98 Posted June 1, 2020 If he is guilty and punished then that should be the end of it, we have to have a society where people who make a mistake can be given a second chance. I Hope to see him at the tapes again because without speedway the lad will have nothing to focus his energy, what he has allegedly done saddens me but so do the people who are too quick to judge Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

In reality, when he's served his sentence, and (according to sociologists) "paid off his debt to society", have a guess how many of the people on this forum will still relish "sticking the (metaphorical) knife in"? Punishment is never the end of it, even after a sentence is served and even after (under the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act) the sentence is deemed to be "spent". Prejudice continues. Imagine this for instance, just suppose SCB made a reappearance on this forum...how many people will welcome him with open arms? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Apparantly, there were plenty of people at the last Cardiff GP who were thrilled to see him and actually welcomed him with open arms. Pathetic. and as JRS said, i am sure he is back on here under a new name somewhere. He spent his entire life on here , no way would he not be posting on here daily but posting on twitter everyday as if nothing ever happened. as for Garrity , id imagine no club will take him on now. The likes of lee , smart , lobb, ward etc had bans for stupid , braindead actions but none of them can be compared to Garrity and his actions. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
