Want to know how depraved Republicans are?

[angrychair]

The Zorro Ranch in New Mexico was bought by a Republican and his wife. He is currently running for comptroller of Texas.

While the state of New Mexico has plans to search the home it is currently having the interior demolished in a complete renovation.

It is apparently the plan of this Republican couple to use the ranch as Christian home for troubled teens.

Yes, you read that correctly.

These depraved assholes are planning on shipping troubled teens to a remote home in the desert that was once very likely used to rape, torture and murder children.

1. Bring in the cadaver dogs first thing.

2. Yes but what might be more efficient

Is Lidar. It can be used to identify potential unmarked graves.

[Miguelito Loveless]

4. You mean GPR

Ground Penetrating Radar

Lidar is a laser-based sensor system, typically use on autonomous vehicles.

6. Oh, it's more than that

I work in state government and we use drones with Lidar to do topographical maps and reveal all kinds of stuff.
It does it by analyzing subtle changes in topography elevation and ground density on a minute scale.

It's even used by archeologists to reveal ancient structures that may be hidden by trees, underbrush or sand.

7. Ah, learn something new every day

I didn't allow for blending of tech, Drones+Lidar.

Thanks for the correction.

8. Very welcome

A good example of what I'm talking about is a National Geographic archaeologist named Albert Lin who hosted a show called 'Lost Cities'. He used that tech as a central component of his research.

9. Lidar is awesome...

I was working with some Lidar data in grad school, it was in its infancy then but I could see the potential for archaeology and it has proven true since then.

13. I love it!

Other than a layman's interest in geology, I have no training or education in that topic. But I LOVE looking at LIDAR photos of the earth. In particular to see old river courses, changes in the topography of landscapes etc. It's just fascinating to me that such a thing can exist to show what once was and how things have changed over the eons.

10. lidar is used to detect subsurface anomolies

used in archeology quite a bit

[Miguelito Loveless]

3. Well, they are carrying on

the legacy.

5. GOP Gang Of Pedophiles

11. His name is Don Huffines and it sounds like he is destroying evidence, I hope the law is involved.

[angrychair]

20. Well the state of New Mexico at least

They are working on it but I have a feeling by the time they have their ducks in a row it will be way too late.
Ultimately, the FBI and the people manipulating the situation over the years are to blame for why they never searched that home. I believe them not searching that home is it's own criminal conspiracy.

12. We have a great Democratic Governor here...

and all of our US congressmen and congresswomen are good Democrats. The courts and judges follow suit.

The investigation of Zorro will be done and done accurately.

We are right next to Texas.....but we AIN'T Texas!

[BidenRocks]

14. Why hasn't the court issued a Stop Work order?

Send security!
This is a crime scene!

[angrychair]

21. Honestly

Past administrations and the FBI should have executed a search warrant on that site years ago.

[Codifer]

15. This just has to be a

Steven King horror novel plot.

Oh how I wish that that was all it was.

[Trueblue Texan]

16. Probably for pregnant, "troubled" teens. nt

[GiqueCee]

17. As I mentioned in a previous post on this subject...

... Doesn't the State of New Mexico have the legal authority to halt any and all demolition and/or construction in the interest of preserving potential evidence? They had sufficient probable cause to initiate an investigation, so...?

[Bettie]

18. So, trafficking again

because that's what it will probably be.

[skypilot]

19. rape, torture and murder children

It will probably continue to be used for that. The thought of a Republican-owned Christian home for troubled youth sends chills down my spine.

[angrychair]

22. Especially

When the person that wants to open that business is obviously an accountant/finance guy (I assume since he is running for comptroller of Texas) so it seems odd.

23. There are levels of sick that I am just finding out about.
