Says an awful lot about them too not just him.

well theres so much young british talent about  .. plenty of room  for the hateful  to have their way , and see Jasons go to waste . or maybe just fill the teams with untried aussies making their way to poland instead

My own thoughts are what a waste talent and a life ,Jason is not alone in his chosen path  his crime was  deplorable to say the least .Whilst many on here feel he should never darken a s/way track again it would appear to be the only thing he is any good at and  he has been punished for the crime .Would it not be better if he were able to pursue a career that may help to keep him on the straight and narrow ( the rehab of offenders leaves a lot to be desired ) if for no other reason than the financial burden on the state .

He was kept out of institutions by the Probation Service as a younger person so that he could pursue his passion for Speedway and a possible career to support his rehabilitation and get back on the straight and narrow. He has had many chances and blown them all, still a likeable personality though.

You go to a pub on Friday night. You walk to the bar where the barman is in conversation with three other customers. What is their history? What have they done together? Have any of them been to prison?

You don't know them or anything about them but you stand next to them & drink your pint without question.

The difference is Jason Garrity is someone who's name you know & you didn't like him before he went to prison. if you want to use him as a reason not to attend speedway events thats your choice but you don't need to share your hateful message with the rest of us.

He done the crime & he's done the time. Now live & let live

Hes also been recalled to prison twice since getting out on license and no doubt will again. Clearly hasn't learned a thing being banged up.

That may well be a contributory factor ( he committed a crime and should be punished accordingly ) whilst you may have nothing but contempt for him just locking him up is obviously not the answer .It the easy simple answer  but neither beneficial to society or Jason ,IMO there is little or no support for  ex offenders .

The cost of incarcerating him and others could be channeled into support network to assist them to conform to the requirements needed to lead a law abiding life .I have met a number of  ex offenders  most come across as reasonable normal people ,they are  anonymous with regards to their criminal past .Jason is not he has public profile which means in someways his criminal past is public property , the simple fact is he's in a cycle and needs help to get out of it  .

Yes he committed a heinous crime and has now finished his time, but what about the crimes committed by a couples of Aussies and a Brit that was swept under the carpet with money in front of it.

Did they learn, have they ever been punished or continually berated.

I doubt any of you who are calling Garrity would have the b"llocks to say it to his face. You all hide behind your keyboards. He's been a very naughty boy more than once and has done his time. As I've said before you can call him all you want but as soon as he signs for your team and bangs in the points he'll be your hero all of a sudden.

I haven't been calling him out or offering an opinion on here at all but I'm now curious as to why you think someone would be reticent to give their opinion to him directly - what would happen?

I'd be happy to say it to his face. He is scum.

And if he signed for a team I supported, he wouldn't be my hero. Far from it. The total opposite in fact.
