About ten days ago....in DC....'Big Ballz' (the DOGE associate of Elon Musk) came to the rescue off a gal who was being roughed-up/robbed.
The basic story? Edward Coristine (aka "Big Balls,") came under assault at the Logan Circle area....near Swann Street and 14th Street Northwest, during an attempted carjacking around 3 a.m. on Sunday, August 3rd. I'll just say from the pictures of the guy after the attack....he was roughed-up pretty good.
As for location? If you leave Layfette Park (next to the White House)....straight walk of 10 minutes....you reach Logan Circle. On my 'safe-index'....between Logan Circle and Dupont Circle (about 700 ft away to the West)....I'd give the neighborhood a '8' for day-time walking. However, if you were discussing partying (as the young lady was) to 3AM? NO, on my safe-index....it's a '3' at best.
I'd also tell you after 10 PM....generally avoid walking, traveling, or riding the subway.
Faked-up? No. Around 2010, when I was in Arlington, you could probably count on twenty cars hijacked in DC, Montgomery County (Maryland) and Prince Georges County (Maryland) on a weekend. It's usually 2 to 4 young males....ages 14 to 18. Even if they are busted (unlikely)....the judge will put them on some program....release, and within a month or two....back to juvenile bad-boy behavior.
Giving B-B a status? Yeah, in a dozen years....I suspect he'll run for office somewhere and this is listed on his sheet as a remainder of how far he might go.
But this also got Trump's attention, and I would imagine it's a added weight to taking the capital back to federal status.....possibly even splitting off two chunks of the district to give back to Maryland.
As for partying in a unsafe area? It's up to you, but I'd generally say if you are in DC, NYC, Miami, Atlanta, LA, or Portland at 3AM....you probably earned the robbery or assault. We aren't living in the 1970s/1980s any longer.
