DOGE associate, "Big Balls", victim of carjacking and assault in DC.

Police reports obtained by WIRED confirm that the alleged victim in question was Edward Coristine, the 19-year-old software engineer who has gone by “Big Balls” online and was one of DOGE’s earliest operatives.

I want to feel bad for this man and his DOGE girlfriend, but he is leading the destruction team at Social Security, so I don't really feel sorry for him.

However, it gives Trump a platform to advocate for taking over D.C. due to crime.

Krusty Gnome gets her purse stolen. Big Balls got jacked.
Oh well. I will reserve my empathy for those that deserve it.

CRIME!!! has always been one of his biggest selling points. This also plays off the racism of his followers.

Not that I condone such things. And they probably didn't even know that he was a muskrat. But they performed a service for society.

I wonder if this was a deliberate attempt to deter from the issues with Trump and his involvement with Epstein?

A gang of people surrounded the car? The 19 year old was able to positively identify two of them? How?

Reminds me of backwards b girl. Only this time I think the "victims" were paid.

If coming from this administration, even the most benign assertions needs verification and review. Get into something that lets them play the triggered snowflake victim card and I'll assume a lie until otherwise satisfied... I'm not a court of law, just an opinion.
