A 19-year-old man known as "Big Balls" who played a key role in the DOGE initiative to shrink the size of government was assaulted over the weekend in Washington, according to city police. Edward Coristine, who still works for the government, was assaulted by approximately 10 juveniles near Dupont Circle about 3 a.m. Sunday, according to a police report obtained by POLITICO.

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.

"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.
