Bittersweet irony

John Burt, a 67 year old anti-choice psycho, is clearly confused about what it means to save young girls from moral decay: the man's going to jail for molesting the teenage girls he claims to be saving. An activist with ties to anti-abortion violence has been jailed after losing an appeal of his conviction and 18-year prison sentence for molesting a teenager at the home for troubled girls he operated. Does it really get more ethically complicated than this? I would LOVE to hear this guy's rationale behind ALL of his actions. But perhaps what's more bothersome, is that he's in good (bad) company: Burt has been a key figure in anti-abortion protests and violence in nearby Pensacola. He had associated with Michael Griffin, now serving a life sentence for fatally shooting an abortion doctor in 1993, and Paul Hill, executed in 2003 for the shooting deaths of another doctor and clinic escort in 1994. Really, what can I say that you're not already thinking?
