screm 8,057 Posted October 21, 2020 Says everything about Garrity as a person that he picked on two people who wouldn't put up any kind of resistance, a bed bound man and a disabled lady. Hopefully Garrity will use his time inside to good use and come out a better person, sadly I doubt he has the sense to do that. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Piotr Pyszny 206 Posted October 21, 2020 (edited) Looking at the number and variety of news sources to carry the outcome of Garrity's trial, there's no end of bad publicity for speedway. Edited October 21, 2020 by Piotr Pyszny Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well I just looked through five or six and found no mention of him being a Speedway rider, as most people have never heard of Speedway and even less Garrity, I doubt there'll be much lasting damage. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Oh, there won't be much damage to speedway's profile. Chiefly because it no longer has one. Up there with tiddlywinks.

Lioness 1,455 Posted October 21, 2020 pity they didnt have the power to add an additional sentence of putting him in a locked room with his hands tied and with fit healthy young relatives of the victims. Even unfit older relatives. From what I have been told from people who were around speedway in Manchester yes he had a bad start in life but he was given chance after chance and chose to go down this route. Hell mend him ETA they are looking for people to try and test COVID potential immunisations on. I'd say scum like this should have that added into their sentence too. They forfeit the right to be treated humanely the minute they prey in this manner on vulnerable people 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

moomin man 76 171 Posted October 21, 2020 Hopefully the sentence he has received acts as some form of recompense, for the ordeals that his victims suffered. That Jason Varsity was a speedway rider should make not one iota of difference, in how people view him. He acted in an indefensible manner. People make plenty of mistakes in life, but equally have plenty of opportunities. Jason Garrity was given an opportunity in speedway, but failed to fully take it. Hopefully as his does his sentence, he will have time to reflect on his actions and leave prison a better person. In the meantime, I certainly will not miss his absence from the sport, which I hope he is not given the chance to return to. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
