(Of course I was armed with a Glock 19 with 41 rounds of 9mm
*including spare mag*, plus 2 backup guns 9mm with 13 rounds and 8 rounds... but I'd like to know about stuff, but found this out at 10 am after running my niece to school, glad I didn't let her ride her bike this morning )

An emergency notification via telephone went out at 8 a.m. Monday through the Burnet County system to alert residents in the area of the escape, but some neighbors in the area said they are concerned it took more than nine hours for the alert to go out.

Actually, No one I know was notified

3:50 a.m. Sheriff W.T. Smith was notified by the warden of the private-public Burnet County Jail, 900 County Lane, that "an inmate was unaccounted for and believed to have escaped from custody."


However, several residents reported they did not receive the so-called "reverse 911" call until after Ybarra was located.

According to a news release from the city of Burnet, Ybarra "is considered very dangerous."

The notice added: "Citizens should not open their doors to unknown persons

No thanks...the less PII people have, the better. If there is an emergency, there are other means to find out about it.

I'd like to know about wildfires and poisoned water, but escapees probably do not want to approach me, though I'd like to know if my niece is out bike riding about escaped dangerous sex offenders

Agree 100%...I'm just saying there are other ways to find out.

I was expecting something about a helicopter deploying an EMP, or that the helicopter fell out of the sky because of an EMP.
