Confessions of an ambulance--Russia, Germany and Uncle Warren's Gulog in West Texas

By Mike Watkiss

One of Warren Jeffs' flunkies, a guy named Merrill Jessop, was recently quoted in the Salt Lake Tribune as saying that the actions of Texas law officers at the the YFZ Ranch during the last week are reminiscent of the kind of police activities one might expect in Stalinist Russia or Nazi German and in many ways I think that's a great analogue.
I would, however, make one distinction.
Instead of tagging the "Russian" and "German" label on cops, Merrill Jessop should really pin it on himself and his pals out at their YFZ pad.
That place is not a compound. It's a concentration camp--a gulog for little girls. The 16-year-old who first triggered the ranch raid did so when she placed a series of desperate phone calls to an domestic violence center in West Texas. The child told how , at the age of 15, she had been married to a much older polygamous man--how at the age of 16 she was a mom with another baby on the way--and how her polygamous husband raped her and beat her from the very beginning.
Then to top it off these clowns--guys like Merrill Jessop--were scaring the child with threats like if she tried to leave they would find her and lock her up. They also told her that if she did escape she would be raped and abused by men from the outside world.
This as the girl was being raped and abused by her polygamous pinhead husband inside the "No-Rights Ranch."
The other night on CNN I did something that I don't think I've ever done before. I called some one a "jerk" on the air. I called Merrill Jessop--Warren Jeffs' lackey and the head honch over at the old YFZ--a jerk and a brute and a guy who should join his polygamous prophet in the pokie.
And today I would just like to say that I stand by that statement!
