“Shellenberger … said police asked if he, in turn, wanted to file a complaint.

“I said ‘no’ despite the fact that it is an illegal and unethical experiment being done on our most vulnerable citizens.” sfchronicle.com/sf/article/San…

“I was in the linkage center monitoring it as is my right as a citizen,’ Shellenberger said. “I was covering a secret and illegal medical experiment. I was evicted from the site.”

Glad to see it only took the @sfchronicle 12 hours to catch up to my reporting this time. Last time it took 5 days.

The article claims “Access to the center remains strictly limited in an effort to preserve a sense of privacy for the people utilizing its services….

In truth, they’re hiding it because it’s a grotesque and illegal medical experiment on our most vulnerable citizens.

“It opened last month, but quickly attracted controversy following reports — first published by Shellenberger — that people at the center were permitted to use drugs inside the fenced-in area that separates the seven-story building from U.N. Plaza.”

I appreciate the Chron has been gracious in crediting us for the scoop. For the record, it was a team effort involving @lwoodhouse @EricaJSandberg @JennyGShao

Also, the fenced, supervised drug addiction site is *inside* — not separate from — UN Plaza

Also, I’m not sure “purportedly” means what the headline writer thinks it means.

When Sam asked how I got in, I told him that I was uncomfortable sharing our reporting methods with a direct journalistic competitor.

If somebody is “purporting” it wasn’t us. We are reporting.
