An anti-vaxxer who attacked two Covid jab clinics with stones he collected from a beach was branded 'arrogant' by a judge today who jailed him for criminal damage. Paul Leonard Edwards, 58, was told he cannot 'deliberately go out and break the law in order to impose your views on others' as he began a 21-month sentence.
A court heard he caused damaged estimated at £11,000 by hurling stones at windows. The judge said Edwards, from Warrington, Cheshire, had no right to try and enforce his views about the dangers he believed were hidden inside the Covid-19 vaccine.
Edwards failed to convince a jury at Mold Crown Court that he was justified to carry out criminal damage last year at two separate Covid vaccination sites in North Wales. A separate matter of common assault was discharged from the record after the jury couldn't reach a verdict.
