Although, Garrity also spent more time in prison than Hitler, which makes you wonder…. Maybe he’s literally Hitler.

Page 6. I thank you. 

Garrity spent far less time inside than Nelson Mandela did.    He must've been a proper wrong 'un.

Though to be fair, prison must've worked.    He never reoffended, and they let him run a country.

Garrity’s recollection of his crimes don’t match the descriptions of what he was sentenced for.

He was off his t1t5 on drugs at the time to be fair 😂

So if they weren't guilty why would anyone pay any money?

What kind of court case do you think this was, a Kray Twins type court case? Paying off the jury?

No matter how much of a scumbag Ward, Morris and Barker are or are portrayed to be, its common knowledge in the speedway world that the bird knew exactly what was going on. Same as Ched Evans the Welsh footballer. Foolish behavior yes, rapist? absolutely not. 

Garrity was caught and admitted holding an OAP at knifepoint for her money. Totally different thing.

OAP robbers, paedos, rapists etc are scum that should have no way back into normality. Same as when that paedo Shawn came on here justifying Garritys crimes, the dirty bast**d (Shawn) was found in possession of the worst child abuse images you can get. He got jailed (not long enough) and released and caught up to his old tricks again. Should be hung . Thats why I have a vendetta against Shovlar now, he knew exactly what Shawn had been up to yet still was seen on here and twitter communicating with him.

There is scum that can be reformed and scum that can't. Paedophiles, crackhead granny robbers etc cannot be reformed.

Jason Garrity is a long term class A drug addict who robbed innocent, elderly , vunerable people. The scumbag should be nowhere near the sport again and anyone who thinks he should needs to hang their heads in shame.

So where and what should he  do with the rest of his life  that gives him a  remote chance of leading a law- abiding existence  plus possibly contributing to society ?

Has Garritty publicly apologized for his wrongdoings and admitted he was not the nicest of human beings? A very good talented rider back in the day. Probably carries too much negative baggage now and I doubt sponsors would want to be associated with him. 

How many of the ones on here though making very negative comments about him would be brave enough to say it to his face - just saying.

absolutley spot on,well said.let him go and work for a charity

[Lefty]

If he's someone who has 'robbed innocent, elderly, vulnerable people', then does it mean he qualifies to stand as a Member of Parliament? . 🤔

[gjcone44]

now you talking about the real scum of our society..

[mikebv]

If he was a self employed plumber, or sparky, would he not be allowed to still be a self employed plumber, or sparky, when he came out of prison? 

Being a self employed Speedway rider was his job when he went inside so not sure why he wouldn't be allowed fo try and get another job doing Speedway...?

As long as someone wants to give him some work, obviously...

I have taken on many "Ex Cons" down the years, who had served their "debt to society", (one of whom went inside for manslaughter and stayed with my company for over 20 years till retirement), with some going on to Managerial positions...

Some found themselves back inside within 18 months, however, that was their choice to not take advantage of the opportunity given to them..

 

[FAST GATER]

Imo his best hope of making life for himself is at this stage to return to the sport , short term prisoners ( as he would be for the  length of his sentence ) get "ZERO" help in any shape or form with regards to reabilitation .

In the past I have had dealings with  former offenders ( through being a former residential landlord ) as Mikebv says some make a fresh start others fall back into their old ways .

Im sort of sat on the fence on this one, Jason is a massive talent on a speedway bike and if a club signs him they will get a real racer but I also understand people saying they can’t forgive him and don’t want him anywhere need speedway, Jason’s crime are clearly motivated by money or the lack of it and fueled by drugs and realistically speedway is his only chance of sorting his life out but speedway doesn’t owe anybody anything least of all Jason but if he doesn’t get a chance then imo he will be back inside before long and we could be the next victim, I’ve said it before I got on well with Jason and always found him very personable but I also saw the other side of him,as I said I’m on the fence on this one, if he gets a chance then I’m happy to pay to watch him race but if speedway says no because of the fans reaction then imo he will also happy because keeping the fans happy is what the sport is about

I get what you're saying,  all I meant was that if a person knows their not guilty within themselves then I for one wouldn't pay anyone anything as that just makes it look dodgy.  I guess the money went to their defense team etc.

Agreed you either believe in the concept of a shot at redemption or you don't.

What Garrity should do is agree to be regulary voluntarily tested if he resumes his career to ensure he remains clean - even out of season. Then if someone takes a punt on him then good for them and he has his chance. If he blows it then no more chances after that. Having seen him ride he certaonly had talent.

It does remind me that in a conversation with Sheffield fans eons ago at Olwerton (well 2016) he was described as a 'bad lad' and Speedway was his only hope - so he would be wise if he gets a 2nd chnace to take it and not mess it up!

It isn't per se but at the same time if you have a 'trade' and this is one of thw ways you can earn a living then if someone is wanting to take a chance on him then he should be allowed to!

Having locked him up and he served his time he needs to do something with the rest of his life, given he would have to declare his conviction etc many companies wouldn't take a chnace on him (entirely their choice by the way) - if he was prepared to retrain then companies such as Timpsons might well give him a go! 

Frankly as a tax payer I want him out there paying something back into the system rather than us footing he bill for him for the next 40 years!

To my mind Shawn was allowed one shot at redemption and ****** it up - Garrity has to have that chance!

[Petecc]

As British Speedway used to be his employer,  what if anything did the employer do to help him with his mental health and addiction.  As a employer has the sport washed their hands of him and was he ever banned ?

Muck Fe!

I've seen the BSPA/L blamed for everything now, why didn't I think it was their responsibility? Probably not woke enough.

As far as I am aware, speedway riders are self employed. If speedway was the cause of what he did, how come every other rider has not done the same.
