What a shame. Years ago people at the Pentagon used to call Dupont Circle "Fruit Loop" because of the sexual orientation of many of the residents there. I wonder if that or drugs were involved in this 3AM fracas? i.kym-cdn.com

"3AM fracas?"

When honest working people are sound asleep.

The point makes itself.

The Lord works in strange and mysterious ways.

I feel bad he was the victim of a violent crime.

I am disappointed that God decided it should be punishment by random selection.

DuPont Circle is still a very safe area.
Any bets on -------- opening his BigMouth?

"Edward Coristine, who played a key role in early days of DOGE, was attacked while trying to stop an apparent carjacking, according to a police report."

Good Samaritan vs the YNs. The YNs usually win in the short term.

It's amazing how you can make fun of victims, and still think you're a good person.

... and now the rest of the story for you liberal Goofballs:

"Edward Coristine, known by his nickname "Big Balls," was one of the most prominent figures in former President Donald Trump's DOGE, a group charged with cutting federal bureaucracy.

Coristine was assaulted around 3 a.m. Sunday in Logan Circle by a group of teens attempting to carjack him and a woman described by police as his significant other, authorities said.

D.C. Police said a group of teens approached the couple, made a comment about taking it, and were confronted after Coristine pushed the woman into the vehicle for safety. Several of the teens attacked him before nearby officers stepped in, prompting the group to flee."

Sounds like a drug deal gone bad.

We need to hear from his "friend's" perspective.

I believe the 10 kids were attempting to jack the car.

That's what Coristone was actually protecting, imo.

I'm sure this was a random attack and not something planned and paid for by Democrat operatives. USAID was a slush fund for troublemakers in the government.

Exactly! Unless, he just finished up a long shift of robbing our taxes by eliminating some National Parks or day care centers and directing the money into his bank account and was going to buy the young woman, he met the night before at a young life event, a nice breakfast in a neighborhood where large gangs of children go 'wilding'? Blow and hookers was the reason he was out in that hood and he probably already had the 'hooker' in the car with him.
