And the relevance to Mr Garrity? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IronScorpion Posted May 31, 2020 Report Share 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.

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. Edited May 31, 2020 by Diamondboy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

Diamondboy Posted May 31, 2020 Report Share Posted May 31, 2020 Just don’t see how offences under the Road Traffic Act can be compared with Robbery offences. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Berry9 Posted June 1, 2020 Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SCB, Yes I heard rumours he is back on the BSF, but I can't find a possible new user name for him. I note he still updates his British Speedway stats file, which is a great site when you require info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His original style would definitely show thru i'm sure, but wouldn't put it past him to be lurking with a whole new persona and writing style. He's still active on twitter although i think his profile is private now as he was getting absolutely hammered when he got out of nick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
