As others have pointed out to you repeatedly, the Texas Observer is a perfectly fine news source that has passed fact checking flawlessly for at least the last 5 years.

So stop spamming.

    Please. Another source.

    No more arguments about why you think this is a good source.

    Another source.

    Please. That's the answer.

    It should be easy. This is a horrific story. It should be easy to find other sources.

    As many others have pointed out, you're arguing in bad faith.

    Everyone knows damn well that a local story in a local newspaper will not have another source until maybe a national source picks it up, and guess what, those national sources will look at the fact that the Texas Observer is a fully trustworthy source who did the legwork on this story, and they will link back to it.

    It's a 100% true, horrific story.

    Or do you not believe that cops would do this sort of thing repeatedly in several states. Here's a selection of past stories on teens, and young teens at that, put in solitary for way longer than should ever be allowed. Watch out for the 13-year-old who committed suicide because of it, that one is a rough read.

    Cops are fucking bastards. They love to power trip, and they love to put people in solitary.
