Anti-vaxxer who attacked two Covid jab centres with stones in 'last chance of influencing people' faces jail

An anti-vaxxer who hurled stones through windows at two Covid vaccination centres - causing damage estimated at £11,000 and injuring a security guard - is facing a jail sentence. Paul Leonard Edwards, 58, from Warrington, told a jury in court he felt his actions were his 'last chance of making an impact in influencing people against the vaccines'.
He said he believed jabs were a 'danger' to the public. Edwards - who represented himself in court - said he collected stones from a beach in Wales and hurled them at two centres. He was found guilty at Mold Crown Court of two counts of damaging property.
A judge warned him that, because of his actions in Llandudno and St Asaph over two nights in December, he was likely to be jailed at a sentencing hearing today - Thursday.
Edwards told the court that he would be accepting a charge of common assault on Wendy McGee - a security guard at the Llandudno centre who was injured during his protest, reports Wales Online.
The trial previously heard how Ms McGee was working late at the coronavirus vaccination centre when Edwards struck on December 14, 2021. He sent glass 'everywhere' when he hurled 'at least half a dozen' rocks gathered from the local beach through the windows and door.
The court heard how flying shards had caused cuts to Ms McGee's face as she frantically called for help. The overall experience of being confronted by Edwards - who was wearing a black T-shirt bearing an anti-vaccination message - left her shook up.
Edwards told the jury on Wednesday, June 15, that from sitting in the dock he could see first-hand how Ms McGee was not 'exaggerating her fear'. He apologised for hurting her and said he 'didn't mean to'. He accepted that it was 'reckless' to carry on
