Washington, DC has a huge carjacking problem, but the recent beating of Big Balls in the District could spark big changes. The ex-DOGE employee stood in the way as a dozen teenagers tried to carjack a young woman, who then in turn beat the young man to the point he suffered a concussion.
Louisiana threatens left lane campers with jail time.
People are even more shocked to learn that this vicious attack happened on the morning of August 3, not late at night. Carjackings happen in broad daylight in the District all the time – they’re downright commonplace.
But President Trump is using it to rally support for federalizing DC so it can be cleaned up, something the municipal government has grossly failed at doing. He made a rather forceful statement on this using his Truth Social account, sharing a photo of the bloodied Big Balls.
Elon Musk took to X to comment on the beating of Big Balls, saying he suffered a concussion. But the young man, whose real name is Edward Coristine per the New York Post, was able to successfully save the woman from the attack.
Many are now saying Coristine rightfully earned his nickname. He certainly put his life on the line for another and that really takes some cojones.
The New York Post report goes on to point out that the juvenile arrest rate is almost double the national average. Almost all the carjackings we’ve covered in the nation’s capital have been done by kids as young as 8 years old.
Criminal gangs will often recruit young kids, teaching and arming them to go out and carjacking innocent people. They know prosecutors and judges will go soft on the children. What Trump says he wants to do is prosecute offenders as young as 14 as adults when they commit violent acts.
His comments have of course been controversial. While people have their own thoughts about Trump’s proposal to federalize the city, there’s no denying the problem and the fact it’s been festering for years. Something needs to change.
