A young, wanna be tough guy got nothing except famous, doing the walk of shame and two new names. The first name is felon. The second, fellow inmates will give him in prison, when he is caught. “Strapper the Slapper” sounds abut right. The male in the above photo and below video earned these prizes on June 24,2023 just before 4:00 PM.

He then walks up to him and slaps him, causing the 53 year old man to fall. He demands money but the victim refused to him him once cent. The robber then slaps him again and pulls a gun from his waistband. The victim then grabbed the robber That is when the robber then kicks him and retreats at a good clip back to the car empty handed.

This was all done in front of some really good security cameras. You can watch below. A “strapper: is one of the most derogatory names a male can be called. This guy earned his name.
