President Trump on Tuesday afternoon threating to federalize DC over out-of-control crime.
“Crime in Washington, D.C., is totally out of control. Local “youths” and gang members, some only 14, 15, and 16-years-old, are randomly attacking, mugging, maiming, and shooting innocent Citizens, at the same time knowing that they will be almost immediately released. They are not afraid of Law Enforcement because they know nothing ever happens to them, but it’s going to happen now!
The Law in D.C. must be changed to prosecute these “minors” as adults, and lock them up for a long time, starting at age 14. The most recent victim was beaten mercilessly by local thugs. Washington, D.C., must be safe, clean, and beautiful for all Americans and, importantly, for the World to see. If D.C. doesn’t get its act together, and quickly, we will have no choice but to take Federal control of the City, and run this City how it should be run, and put criminals on notice that they’re not going to get away with it anymore.
Perhaps it should have been done a long time ago, then this incredible young man, and so many others, would not have had to go through the horrors of Violent Crime. If this continues, I am going to exert my powers, and FEDERALIZE this City. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!” Trump said on Truth Social.

It was revealed DOGE team member Edward Coristine, AKA ‘Big Balls’ was severely beaten by 8 black teens after he stopped to defend a woman who was being assaulted by the gang in DC the other night.
...
WUSA9 reported that crime in DC has ‘dropped’ in 2025; however, the Democrats’ soft-on-crime policies for minors are creating huge problems.
Juvenile crime is a huge problem in DC.
Juveniles are now disproportionately involved in carjackings and robbery.
Last month a curfew was enacted to curb juvenile crime, but DC Metro Police reports minors under the age of 18 are responsible for nearly 50% of the carjackings.
I couldn’t agree more.
Do it.
At all.
“”””Maybe it’s too early. But I just did a quick search. The attack on Edward Coristine is being reported by the Hindustan Times and no one else.””””

Ex-DOGE staffer nicknamed ‘Big Balls’ left bloodied after savage DC ...
Edward Coristine, whose LinkedIn handle earned him the nickname “Big Balls” at DOGE, was with a woman near downtown DC when he saw the group of juveniles approach their car and “make a ...
This gang of young blacks are pack animals. They have no fear, understandable since DC does not prosecute crime. Imagine these many thugs attempting to assault a woman in her car. No respect for women at all. Women are prey. Now a Good Samaritan, a man named Edward Coristine,, steps in to protect this woman and he is severely beaten by the pack animals. He is hospitalized with a concussion. Sad and disgusting.
I hope surveillance cameras captured the cowardly gang of thugs. I hope they are apprehended, and charged and convicted as adults. Adult prisoners will choose them one by one. They will live their lives as bitches.

A few days ago, a gang of about a dozen young men tried to assault a woman in her car at night in DC.
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.

“”””yeah, I’m calling bs on this. There is no way this happened. I think he’s just trying to get his social credit score up. Elon Musk used to be a world hero, loved by the planet, now he’s despised.””””
See my post #44
Come on GP. You should be able to admit it is gangs of black youths beating and attacking people.
Give most of DC back to Md.
Va. long ago got their part back.
Blue cities refused to report crime to make everything look great for Biden.
Sodom on the Potomac. THIS is the kind of place I want his attention focused. It’s a national embarrassment that nation’s Capitol is too dangerous to visit.
DC - another hellhole to add to the personal list of hellholes...
Park the DC National Guard in South East DC. Give the citizens the right to bear arms, to include federal employees.
No one said a MFing thing when DIA employees needed a cordon of cops from the Anacostia Metro to the government contracted buses in the morning and evening. everyday. If the DC cops were not there, the employees would be ambushed like the Last of the Mohicans, twice a day.
Everyone ignored the symptom of a bigger problem.
E’s nough ded yet!!
And no one likes getting ganked.
Maybe he could also federalize Los Angeles, San Francisco, Chicago, Detroit, Cincinnati, Baltimore, New York, Baltimore, in fact all Democrat-run hellholes.
Washington D.C. is already a federal enclave.
Simply repeal the 1973 Home Rule Act, and place DC under congressional control. It’s been done before.
Too bad citizens, in DC, cannot exercise their Constitutional rights, to carry firearms and protect themselves. Crime would go down, as the trash is taken out.
Searched in vain for an update on tge victim’s condition.
