71 yo black male 5'10" 235lbs. I've gotten 4-5 Emergency broadcast messages over the past 12 hours for him...including 2 that were in the wee hours. Nothing like your phone sending what might as well be an electric shock through you at 2:30am.
I could go on...but, I'd likely say some things that wouldn't be nice.

I was...I just keep thinking there might be one that actually means something. But, I'm sure I'm just being paranoid. Honestly, I don't even mind ONE when someone's love one is missing. BUT, this dude has gotten 4 in the last 10-12 hours...I've never seen/heard this before. The dude must have some politicians cell phone is his pocket.

I'm not observant enough to be helpful to anyone in those situations.

I turned mine off. The vast majority of alerts I ever got seemed to be for Hispanic children kidnapped by what appeared to be one of their parents in the ATL metro area. I figured I wasn't going to be much help.

That's about 50% of what we get. However, there seems to be a pattern with the other 45%+ around athens. I probably should just turn it off too.

Mr Johnson has been found. Seems the bender finally wore of and the fine church lady he was with brought him home.
