Two 15-year-olds arrested in connection with DOGE staffer ‘Big Balls’ beating in DC

Two teenagers were arrested in connection to the attempted carjacking of a former Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) staffer known as “Big Balls.”

Authorities said the 15-year-old suspects, who were charged with unarmed carjacking, were among several teens who allegedly approached the victim, Edward Coristine, and a woman police identified as his significant other near a car around 3 a.m. EDT Sunday in Washington’s Logan Circle neighborhood.

The group allegedly made comments about taking the car, before Coristine pushed his significant other into the vehicle for safety and prepared to confront the group, according to police.

Law enforcement officials said Coristine turned to face the teenagers, and several of them attacked him until police patrolling the area intervened. The group fled on foot when police approached, authorities said.

Coristine, a 19-year-old software engineer, was among the most visible figures associated with President Trump’s DOGE effort, aimed at slashing government spending and eliminating waste in the federal bureaucracy.

Tech billionaire Elon Musk, who was the chief adviser of DOGE before his special employee period lapsed last May, confirmed the attack on a post on the social platform X, which he owns.

“A few days ago, a gang of about a dozen young men tried to assault a woman in her car at night in DC,” Musk said in the post. “A @Doge team member saw what was happening, ran to defend her and was severely beaten to the point of concussion, but he saved her.”

“around 3 a.m.” I think I see the problem.

In Seoul or Tokyo, you can walk around the city at 3 a.m. and everything is totally safe. I don't think you see the problem.

Those instead are more often rolled up in the rug.

And taken to a park, with a carefully cleaned drop gun in his hand?

It was a hit. It wasn't that muggers were attacking a random woman and Big Balls came to the rescue.

It was that Big Balls and his girlfriend were targeted.

USAID people hired the thugs to kill Big Balls.

It isn’t a problem. It is provided for in the Constitution. The issue is will it happen. It would be a gamechanger for the people living, working & visiting the area and I hope POTUS will take the steps to make it happen.

“around 3 a.m.”

“I think I see the problem.”

It shouldn’t have to be that way in a civilized society. (I know; we’re not a civilized society anymore.)

From the disinformation link:

“Crime in D.C. was down 35 percent in 2024 from the previous year, marking a 30-year low. Data from the district show violent crime is also down so far in 2025 compared with the previous year.“

Remember, if crime isn’t reported, or it’s pled down, it looks like it isn’t happening.

Now that these vile feral spawn have been identified, Big Balls needs to ensure that their lives, along with that of their ghettopotumuai mothers, a constant living digital hell for a long, long time. The likes of which has never been seen before or even thought possible....
BTW, why are these 15-year old ghettopotomai spawn allowed out on the streets at 3am?

We should be able to go wherever we want, whenever we want, with no fear of being jumped, or having to help out someone else who is being jumped, by a bunch of thugs.

Two 15 year olds were out at 3 am? Were they coming home from their volunteering job at a homeless shelter? Maybe they were coming home from the Black Youths for a Conservative America meeting? I doubt they were out at 3 am to cause trouble, that would be racist, wouldn’t it? 😀

Turn them over to a couple of SEALS. They’ll show the little boys what being bad ass REALLY MEANS.

Those 15 year olds were coming home from the volunteering job at the homeless shelter, where they were feeding hungry homeless families...

If you believe that, you're a MSNBC viewer... 😀
