A 73-year-old Illinois man was sentenced Monday to five years in prison for driving a car into a planned abortion clinic and trying to set the building on fire last year.

Philip J. Buyno of Prophetstown also was ordered to serve three years of supervised release and to pay $327,547 in restitution, prosecutors said in a news release. U.S. District Judge Colin S. Bruce handed down the sentence.

    Spending your final years in jail for something that doesn’t even concern you, and they’ll probably have the clinic rebuilt before the sentence is served. Smart move, well deserved.
