Outraged. So are hundreds of followers on social networks after seeing the video of a Cartagena influencer known as ‘Jay Tomy’.

The young man shared a clip on his networks in which he appears first showing the step by step of how he created some soap popsicles with which, along with other friends, he deceived several elderly adults and street vendors.

The alleged popsicles were filled with chocolate, so it was easy to fool people who were innocently trying them and expressing their opinion about the product.

The controversial influencer deceived them by telling them that the product was part of an undertaking of friends, who were giving away tastings to find out what people’s opinion of the palette was.

The worst thing is that while the victim encourages the young man to continue with his supposed business, as they consider that the popsicles are “very good”, he mocks his face, aware that the man is eating a bar of soap .

As expected, the event has caused all kinds of opinions on social networks of followers who repudiate the action of the young people and ask that the authorities take action on the matter.

“Poor people sure said he was rich because they do have feelings like they can do that to seniors in those conditions”, “bad, with seniors not. Do it with your acquaintances and the soap is toxic “,” It should be a pain to publish, make this type of videos, I was very sad to see how you humiliate, make fun of those people “, are some of the comments that flood the young man’s publication .

Faced with the criticism, the same influencer assured that “at no time did they let people eat the whole palette and that they helped with money those who saw that they needed it most”. However, the video has already been deleted from his profile.

On this, the Mayor of Cartagena, through the Secretariat for Participation, asked to apply the full weight of the law to these young people, calling them “irresponsible.” In addition, he recalled the importance of respecting the rights of street dwellers, which is why they reject this type of act.

“We call for the responsibility and good sense of those who make this content to have a positive impact on our city, as well as those who follow them not to disseminate these content that threatens the integrity of our citizens.”

It would not be the first time?

It seems that it is not the first time that this influencer and his friends have been criticized, because a year ago they were also in the eye of the hurricane after publishing a video where they simulated that a person was dead on Pedro de Heredia Avenue, a the height of the Las Gaviotas bridge, drawing the attention of the authorities and citizens. The young people had to publicly apologize to the community through a statement. (Read here: The sanctions that Cartagena youtubers face for making fun of the Police)

In addition, at the time, they also had to pay a fine of $ 883,000 and comply with a pedagogical activity of coexistence.

Now, it is expected that in the last hours the authorities will rule on this fact.
