In reply to the discussion: DOGE's "Big Balls" Was Beaten Up--and Musk Is Already Lying About It [View all]Prairie Gates
(5,879 posts)23. Dollars to donuts that unarmed carjacking charge will be dropped
Complainant 1 (i.e., Coristine) is the only one saying anything about that. They have to arrest and charge based on the complaint (and, of course, the fact that he was indeed beaten bloody), but unless there's a confession, there's not a whole lot to go on for a charge of unarmed carjacking. According to the report, the woman he was with (C-2) did not even confirm the claim: the report states only that C-1 (Coristine) "saw the suspects approach and make a comment about taking the vehicle." That's pretty slim for a carjacking charge.
It will be dropped. This will go to simple assault if that.
I also expect we'll see the story change.

So now, instead of calling himself Big Balls, he has to use a more accurate moniker.

Look at this other pathetic loser that couldn't fend off 13 & 15 year old female carjackers in DC

Not that I'm defending Big Balls, but fighting two opponents, even 15 year olds, is HARD. Let alone three.

"To the point of concussion." Total BS. There was not even a visit to a hospital by B.B.

Democrats should have made DC a state when they had the power to do so. And Puerto Rico.

He made it sound like the woman was some stranger and big balls was a knight and shining armor

Do you know he was at the Black Cat, or are you speculating based on location?

You are correct. I have no idea where he was before the attempted carjacking.

Since he was 19, any establishment serving him alcohol should have their liquor license revoked

Toddlers killed with parents' guns. School children with their brains blasted on the wall and breakfast on the floor.

I posted numerous factual reports about this incident yesterday and several people here said it didn't happen.
