Court convicts Paul Edwards, 58, of smashing windows at vaccination centres

On December 14, he was apprehended by North Wales Police after smashing five windows at a vaccination clinic near the police station in Llandudno, the court heard.

However, prosecutor Anna Price claimed he vandalized 25 glass at the OpTIC building in the St Asaph industrial park the next night.

Also just damaged one of the immunization center’s glass, but he caused damage to the park’s shops.

The immunization effort was not hampered in any way.
Edwards, who was defending himself, denied two charges of property damage.

‘Both events include attacks on wider society,’ said Judge Rhys Rowlands.

Edwards had ‘Genuinely and strongly-held beliefs critical of official policies and regulations’ to safeguard the people, according to the judge.

He couldn’t, however, breach the law to impose his beliefs on those who might have considered the jabs as a lifeline.

Edwards’ behavior, he noted, was “arrogant and particularly heinous.”

‘You haven’t demonstrated any understanding into the harm your behavior caused, or the potential to have caused, vulnerable persons,’ Judge Rowlands told the defendant. You planned to break into both buildings and do significantly more damage.’

During the event, a security guard was injured by flying glass.

Edwards told the jury that he was attempting to impede the immunization program because it was putting the public’s health in jeopardy.

In Britain, he asserted, there was ‘planned scaremongering’ and ‘censorship.’

He claimed that Communist China had a vested interest in destabilizing Western society.
