  1. Is it really necessary for the Sheriff Department to send out texts at 4:23 am letting people in the county know where they will be working in the morning?Eventually, someone is going to snap. How they think it’s conducive to alarm people sound asleep about where they will be in five hours. Seriously, I’m across the county from where this is taking place. If I want the news I’ll read it when I wake up. Someone pass the bong. So rudely awakened as if there was an actual emergency taking place at that very moment. Geez, I could have stubbed my big toe looking for the phone.
    Please stop harassing me at 4 in the morning with unnecessary texts. Thanks

    • Exactly!!! Thanks Bubba!!!

      I just about had a heart attack!!! Been awake ever since.
      We lost everything, but the shirts on our backs and our animals, in the October 2017 fire in Redwood Valley. Our phones are on 24/7. Getting a text at an unnecessary time of day when danger to those receiving it is not eminent shows the “whole picture” was not considered. I appreciate the texts and the fact that it is part of someone’s job to find time to send them. However, clearly, some sort of protocol re non emergency texts needs and must be developed.

      I feel for the family and loved ones looking for their beloved one, but it seems 7:30 or 8:00am would have been sufficient.

    • Your mindset is interesting. I hope that when something happens to your loved one, and you expect prompt attention, you get the lackadaisical energy that seem to have hoped for here. Maybe you need a different strain to smoke because obviously the one you’ve got isn’t doing it’s job.

  2. Really, he’s someone’s son. Have a heart! He has a family and people that love him, everybody deserves a chance. You never know when someone could be the next important person in your life. Have some empathy!
