New: Another Leftist Narrative Further Erodes As Pirro Announces Two More Arrests in 'Big Balls' Case

One of the most infuriating things about the Edward Coristine case beyond the assault itself has been the leftist mockery of the former DOGE staffer, who reportedly came to the defense of a young woman in the early morning hours of Sunday, August 3rd, amid an attempted carjacking in Washington, D.C.

According to the police report, there were 10 attackers. Photos taken in the aftermath showed Coristine, who is also known by the nickname "Big Balls," looking bloody and battered from an apparent assault.

In the immediate aftermath of the case, President Trump authorized the federalization of law enforcement in the nation's capital. This prompted a chorus of negative responses, including from Obama alum Sawyer Hackett, who has also worked on the failed presidential campaigns of Hillary Clinton and former Rep. Julián Castro. He tweeted on X that it was "Crazy that DC is going to become a military police state because an incel nicknamed Big Balls got his a** kicked by a pack of unarmed preteens."

As we documented at the time, Trump's actions weren't just prompted by Coristine's assault but also several other high-profile cases from the summer, including that of Eric Tarpinian-Jachym, 21, an intern for Rep. Ron Estes (R-KS) who was murdered in the late evening hours of June 30th, as he was stepping out to get some dinner.

Further, as we also noted, the alleged attackers weren't "preteens." The first two who were arrested were both 15 years old. Unfortunately, those two got away with a slap on the wrist thanks in part to their age. The interim U.S. Attorney for D.C., Jeanine Pirro, has decried such practices, calling for, among other things, the age of accountability to be lowered to 14, and for youth repeat offenders to stop being coddled by the family court system.

In another update on this case, and in another blow to the "preteens" narrative, Pirro announced two more arrests Monday - with one of the suspects being 18 and the other 19:

Laurence Powell, 19, and Anthony Taylor, 18, were arrested on Thursday and Friday respectively.
Investigators said the two were part of a large group who attacked a man at a gas station in the 1400 block of U Street around 2:53 a.m. on Aug. 3. Police said the group also robbed the victim and attacked several of his friends.
Pirro said the the group then moved to Swann Street where they attempted to carjack Edward Coristine.

They are facing federal charges:

The teens are charged with two counts of first-degree robbery and assault with intent to commit robbery, each of which is punishable by up to 15 years in prison, and attempted carjacking, which holds a penalty of up to five years.

Pirro shared details during a press conference, where she went off on the fact that Powell was given probation by a Superior Court judge for a prior felony attempted robbery offense back in April, despite Pirro's office asking for jail time. Pirro said he reoffended 30 days later. A similar situation played out in mid-July with Powell. Just a few weeks later, he allegedly took part in the violent crime against Coristine:

You mean to tell me the latest suspects are (alleged) repeat offenders? I am shocked, I tell you, shocked.

It's just maddening, and it's gotta stop.
