gazette- 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.
Court records suggest Ramirez had yet to fulfill a sentence for drunken driving when the crash happened late last week.
He was sentenced to a year of probation in August 2018 after pleading guilty to driving under the influence in late 2017.
He also has pleaded guilty to reckless endangerment in a child neglect case and was sentenced to a year of probation, court records show. A domestic violence case was dismissed by prosecutors in 2016.
Ramirez’s Denver-based attorney did not return calls for comment.Thursday, Buchanan’s family and friends lamented the circumstances of his death. Savage said Buchanan “would hate” it if his death was used to stoke anti-immigrant sentiment.
Don’t care what he thought. He was a moron.

I wonder if he had invested in government subsidized low-income housing like a lot of these “advocates” for illegal immigrants.
He just left his five children fatherless. Virtue signalling has its price.
justice!
Better the drunk illegal killed him than some poor Joe
who wasn’t helping these criminals jump the border.
One must be very careful in the wishing Dept.
Scotch pairs very well with this article.
kinda’ like the couple that were killed while isis hugging a couple of months ago
I’m all out of fucks to give.
“The undocumented immigrant had sought refuge at All Souls Unitarian Universalist Church in January to avoid deportation to El Salvador during the federal government shutdown.”
If the government was shut down, how were they going to deport him? I’d like to think deportation was an Essential Government Function, but there is no way that it is.
I know, I know, journos…your point is that Trump’s Shutdown caused everything bad.
Bless his heart
Sometimes God has a sense of humor
I don’t care what he did for a living.
As far as I’m concerned, some American was minding his own business and was killed by an illegal repeat offender alien who should have been deported long ago with Philadelphia Experiment technology
But humans can agree on the irony.
A Colorado State Master Trooper
Had to pick up a dead guy with a scooper
Miguel crossed the line
And waxed his behind
So hard his head exited out his pooper
Won’t be loving him some immigrants today.
El Karma hit Mr. Dogma.
LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL!
Instant Karma’s gonna get you
Gonna knock you right on the head
You better get yourself together
Pretty soon you’re gonna be dead

And I just typed that the ways of Providence are inscrutable!
Yet another boneheaded bleeding heart who thinks he gets to decide what’s best for Americans…like it or not.
Geesh, his family friend can’t even speak of his death without prefacing what a virtuous guy he was. Oh well, bye Sean, I’m just happy it wasn’t someone I loved, or I’d be royally pissed. Maybe some of those “migrants” will pitch in and help raise your children.
How odd. When our people are killed by illegal aliens, we never hear whether they were illegal or not.
This must be have been the new guy’s first day in the office where he screwed up and accidentally practiced journalism.
I guess he was separated from his children.
I also imagine that Colorado authorities are pleased with themselves for putting the illegal alien on probation and did not turn him over to ICE.
I am sorry that Sean died. I am also sorry that so many of my fellow Americans are incapable of differentiating the difference between immigrants and illegal invaders. I have a well educated niece who refuses to acknowledge the difference….

BWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!
who am i to question God???
That’s a tough way to learn how wrong you can be.
Karma, she is one stone cold bitch.
The Left never learns. To them he’s a martyr. In reality he lost his life due to crime, as a result of his support of criminal behavior. His death only proves the danger of having poor judgement and believing a lie.
Schadenfreude! SCHADENFREUDE!
Illegal, actively avoided deportation, drunk driving avoided incarceration, no insurance, and then killed a father of five. Maybe later on when she’s hooking to feed her kids it’ll dawn on her that this was essentially her and her husband’s fault
You can’t fix stupid. But sometimes you can stomp it out.
Sorry, anyone who condones illegal invaders does not love America or Americans.
