What's more likely to happen? People get annoyed to the point they actually take action and go out and look for the abductor, or people get annoyed to the point they opt out of all future amber alerts?

Give it up man, it's an exercise in futility around here.

You're obviously both a couple of self-indulgent selfish pricks who don't give a damn about anybody else. You can't be bothered for 10 ****ing seconds to look at your ****ing phones when a 10 year old girl is missing and there's a chance to save to save her life? JFC. It's not like this happens every day. Or every week. Or every month. Or every year.

I have a daughter, and I sympathise with any parent who has his daughter taken away and murdered. I think everybody should do everything possible to save a girl in a situation like that. That Amber Alert could have saved her life. It's sad that it didn't.

You're both really pretty shitty human beings if you can't understand that.

I believe your emotions are dictating your reaction, which is understandable.

However, I believe that the sentiment from the detractors of the system are critical of its effectiveness. I think that is open for debate.

Who said I don't sympathize for them?

Its too bad you can't get your feelings out of the way to think rationally.

Is that how the opt out thing works? It would make more sense to opt out of the alert once you're aware of the situation and then only receive new information if necessary. I would hope the next amber alert would go out to everyone again.
