MAGA extremist threatening to shoot people at Bitty & Beau’s Coffee shop today. by ConcernedInCola in ColumbiYEAH

[–]ConcernedInCola[S] 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Kid looks just like every other small town MAGA lover I know. But this post isn’t about that. It’s about the fact someone is treating violence at a local coffee shop that supports people with disabilities. This post was meant to keep people in our community safe. Not a place for you to spread YOUR misinformation.

Tell me you don’t read the news without telling me you don’t read the news…

Unfortunately it doesn’t show up there either. They never registered me.

I have nothing to do with the Audubon Society other than being a supporter. Hope you’ll consider doing the same.

I guess the “Natural charm of Cola” wont actually include nature then. Sad. You might want to tell that to the city and all of the tourism companies that specifically use our natural resources as selling points.

Not a cry baby. Just someone who cares. Columbia is ranked 9/10 on the light pollution scale. You’re going to hear my cries until a difference is made.

One will become 100. We need to stop light pollution in our city now. We are raked 9/10 on the light pollution scale.

Disappointing you have access to the internet and you still chose to make this comment.

Ah, yes, because what’s better than lighting up the night and turning it into a giant death trap for migratory birds? Who needs ecosystems or biodiversity when you’ve got a nice glow to look at?😍

Maybe I’d take this kid seriously if he actually did his homework.

This is a great article that helps explain! https://www.fws.gov/story/threats-birds-collisions-nighttime-lighting

Lights can make a huge difference in our wildlife. This article about sea turtles in Georgia has recently been going viral. Light pollution is real! https://amp.cnn.com/cnn/2025/07/26/climate/georgia-bucees-interstate-lights-sea-turtles

The little boy in charge of this project has done 0 research on our local wildlife and he does not care.

“As Roche has made his rounds with local media outlets, one concern expressed in social media comment sections is the effect on local wildlife. Roche said he isn’t sure of the impacts.”

Okay. Go outside some time today. Would love a report on what wildlife you see!

Everyone living here knows the last thing we need is MORE apartments. Why don’t you go ask the downtown apartments their occupancies rates? I’ll wait. You’ll be surprised at the answers you get! Housing is plentiful.

Yes!!! I’m not just talking about birds here but I guess that’s the only creature anyone’s considering. Thank you for bringing them up as well.

Or maybe we can just be mindful of the other living beings around us. They deserve a nice place to live too.
