A father of five who staunchly supported immigrants died when his motorcycle reportedly was hit by a Salvadoran motorist who sought sanctuary from deportation seven months ago in a Colorado Springs church.

Sean Buchanan’s family grieved his death Thursday and the tragic irony of an Aug. 2 wreck that involved a member of the very community Buchanan so ardently supported.

“Sean was an advocate for people who were trying to get into our country. He was a huge advocate,” said Amy Savage, a close family friend, standing in the family’s garage. “He just was a man who loved and accepted everyone.”

Buchanan, 45, was killed when a southbound vehicle went off the right side of Colorado 83 just north of the El Paso County line, the Colorado State Patrol reported. The vehicle then went left and into oncoming traffic, hitting Buchanan’s motorcycle, said Master Trooper Gary Cutler, an agency spokesman.

On a positive note at least he didn’t live long enough to possibly witness one of his own children be murdered by an illegal.

Maybe his wife should now pickup where he left off, and achieve the same outcome.

I believe the term everyone is looking for is poetic justice. I have no sympathy for emotionally driven leftists.

Seems the media left out the word supports “ILLEGAL” immigrants

““He just was a man who loved and accepted everyone.””

I’d say, sadly, he got what he deserved! America is not some bottomless pit, that has the infinite abilty to absorb the rest of the world trash. FWIW, I think we should start prosecuting churches, starting with the Catholics and the Mormons, who routinely flaunt our immigration laws, as bad as they are, in bringing illegals into our country and/or “protecting” those who are already here. Put that feckless Cardinal Mahoney in Los Angeles who routinely tells everyone that he’s not bound by our country’s laws because he has God on his side in prison. Maybe a stint in Terminal Island will change his mind.

Dedication to a cause one is passionate about certainly has its rewards.

Clearly this illegal alien has no respect for our laws and our citizens. The result is the death of an American.
