Kensington Philadelphia Drug & Crime Problems
Violent crime and drug abuse in Philadelphia as a whole is a major problem. The city’s violent crime rate is higher than the national average and other similarly sized metropolitan areas.1 Also alarming is Philadelphia’s drug overdose rate. The number of drug overdose deaths in the city increased by 50% from 2013 to 2015, with more than twice as many deaths from drug overdoses as deaths from homicides in 2015.2 A big part of Philadelphia’s problems stem from the crime rate and drug abuse in Kensington.
Because of the high number of drugs in Kensington, the neighborhood has a drug crime rate of 3.57, the third-highest rate by neighborhood in Philadelphia.3 Like a lot of the country, a big part of this issue is a result of the opioid epidemic. Opioid abuse has skyrocketed over the last two decades in the United States and Philadelphia is no exception. Along with having a high rate of drug overdose deaths, 80% percent of Philadelphia’s overdose deaths involved opioids2 and Kensington is a big contributor to this number. This Philly neighborhood is purportedly the largest open-air narcotics market for heroin on the East Coast with many neighboring residents flocking to the area for heroin and other opioids.4 With such a high number of drugs in Kensington, many state and local officials have zoned in on this area to try and tackle Philadelphia’s problem.
This is truly apocalyptic.
American dream at real !!!
A truly third world country. They see more value in bullets and guns than human beings. When you dig a little deeper the USA is a fucking disgrace. Thank fuck I wasn't born there or will ever go there. If you are from the USA and offended by my comments rather than the state of your country then you need to take a long hard look at yourself in the mirror.
Biden's America
@@KarenWasherGrudzien how do you figure? Do you think this is something new since January 2021?
Stop using big words, now I got to Google it.
I couldn’t imagine anything more horrific then to drive past one of these streets and seeing my own child lying on the ground like these poor, broken souls. If ever there is a hell, this is it.
Hell is all over the world. People eat mud because they can't afford food ☹️
I was thinking the exact same thing! 😞
Yes my oldest son an addict was homeless until I found a place. As a mother I wondered did he ever sleep outside.
Drugs are not good, first of all, losing religion, being away from God, losing money, losing mind, losing health, losing family and friends
@Joel Clements I'm not a communist
Ya church goers never end up on drugs. You fool
@Joel Clements You are correct. all according to plan.
Nobody rose from the dead
Has nothing to do w religion 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄
Weirdly it doesn't actually look like a public place. You could easily imagine the whole place having a fence around it, like they're prisoners. Or a concentration camp. It's surreal.

Or like the outdoor area in a huge madhouse!
Real life District 9 lol
10في مائة جواسيس
the other victims that nobody mentioned here are the cops, can you imagine dealing with this every day, not just the addiction also the mental problems that go along with the addiction
I haven’t seen any cops 👮♀️ around.. this is so sad 😞
Your right and officers aren't therapist. Are there even enough funds to deal with this?
Yeah. How dare people have mental illnesses right? And God forbid having public officials step in to help. After all it's better that they just die, right? You want to talk about mental illness...look in a mirror and check your compassion gauge. And watch a video about addiction. Most folks didn't make a conscious choice to get into a bad situation. It's a series of events...some are in one's control. Others, really not so much.
@Gonewiththewind Coddling--no. That's not what my post was about. My point is, these people are struggling with mental illness. That doesn't mean you accept the behavior or the consequences that have been mentioned in terms of impact to the folks that live in those areas. But, the thing is, we really haven't been helping them. We complain and complain about the homeless, for so many reasons. But then, when the topic of increasing funding for shelters, for addiction treatment, for outreach...comes up, citizens balk and say it's too expensive. Arresting people for being homeless, having mental illness, or similar problems...is not a moral way to solve the issues in Kensington. More importantly for folks who don't care about the moral aspect...it's more expensive in the long run. Someone arrested for a petty crime will be back out in a few months. Being incarcerated makes it harder to get and keep a job after though. And thus, the cycle repeats and we end up paying a ton of money for the policing and the jails that end up housing these people. It would be cheaper and better to just fund outreach and shelters etc. Would that help everyone? Of course not. Some folks don't want to get better. But, some, with the right resources, probably do. In a nutshell, I'm advocating for compassion, and constructive outreach programs...not just allowing the abominable state of affairs in N. Philly (and other big cities) to continue.
The cops ignore this bs, i just watched a vid where a guy was shooting up and cops literally turned other way. They can care less
Kensington is just like the movie Night of the Living Dead..
they are in training ,son
And un scripted
I’m pretty sure there is a Baaaaabraa in that bunch & a Johnny too!!
For real. Spooky .
Да , уж. Это просто ужас.
I can not imagine living this kind of life on a daily basis, it looks exhausting! 😞
In the past that has been the hope, hasn't it, that one day the user will find existing only for the narco and getting the money for the narco feels just too much hassle and pain - and want out. But can these folks even think about their own situation?
What’s exhausting about? No bills, no reason to clock in to start work. You can sleep in everyday. It actually looks relaxing. 😜
Nah they love it. They wake up each day and start injecting. It's like a non-stop dreamy life.
@@lamadyarah8787 Well I guess that's one way to look at it! 😳
@@cherylb5680 They're on animal tranquilizers of course they look exhausted. lol
Просто жуть, даже не верится, что такое есть в 21 веке, город зомби
Where does the money come from for them to get their drugs? crime? family?
Government
OMG the guy throwing his soup cup in the street pisses me off!

It's truly bad to see someone stagger around with all that's left of their life in a small plastic bag.
I so agree with you on that. May they RIP 🪦🙏🏼💔🥀⚰️
@@diana6772 I think most people have a time in their lives when they have to tell themselves, "stop and turn around" but it's usually in less dramatic circumstances than this.
Chiropractor's would be lining up.. straighten up these backs..
Thanks for continuing to keep the spotlight on this horrendous situation
It is depressing to watch but needs to be shown
Maybe one day mainstream media
will pay attention instead of on the nonsense in DC
DO YOU HAVE PLANS FOR A DOCUMENTARY???
That city is plagued with demons . smh

@@eric.6407 well that part of Philadelphia is horrible ....
It looks like a place you should meet your husband.
@@lamadyarah8787 oh you are funny !!!!! Not ....
@@lamadyarah8787 Ha ha ha good answer
This Av Kensington, unfortunately, is worse than Cracolândia here in Brazil 🥴🇧🇷
BEM pior, o centro de SP nem é assim. os estados unidos são zuado msm
I reckon whoever chose that store location for Walgreens got fired, don't you?
ua-cam.com/video/CoUYeSgDSl0/v-deo.html
What if a neighborhood store was ALWAYS in that location and Kenso sprung up around it? I think Jim Kenny and Danielle Outlaw should be fired.
@@ChrisWojoDotCom I'm sure you're right. I live in a similar sort of area (just poor, no drugs) and big businesses have all pulled out down the years.
This was once a great neighborhood
Hey! You give the best footage, keep up the good work!
Rarely am I left speechless on UA-cam. This channel is one of the very few exceptions.
ua-cam.com/video/CoUYeSgDSl0/v-deo.html
Im brasilian, live in Rio de Janeiro! Um shocked by this! Chame!!!!!!!
Wow, just wow. It gets worse and worse by the day. How sad. RIP 🪦😞💔🕊✝️🥀
Imagine having to walk by these people everyday to and from work... Shyt would make me depressed.. would definitely move
It definitely looks like hopeless avenue. Something needs to be done, Collectively this effects everyone. ☹️
I used to be down there multiple times a week, it's just so easy to get and they sell what's called a bundle for 80 usually, it comes with 15 individual bags with a decent amount of fent. It's insanely cheap most people can just buy what's called a slice it's 1 individual baggy and it's 5 bucks that will knock most people out easily. It's an absolute shame what's going on in this area luckily I got out and moved out of state.
How long does 80 last ?
@1:00 she won the twister championship back in 1998😁🤣
Do other druggies or non-druggies rob them when they are passed out or stooped over?
Yes
There are no 'non druggie's around here. and yes they steel the same 10 bill after they pass out.
Absolutely...
The game dont change. Just the faces. I was there on those same streets over 10 yrs ago. I made it out. Any body can you just have to want it more than what ever is keeping you there. Thoughts and Prayers for all the lost streets soldiers. You are not forgotten. Say Word.
ua-cam.com/video/CoUYeSgDSl0/v-deo.html.
Is it worse there now than 10 years ago?
Looks the same not a hole lot different to me. Either way the struggle remains the same. FACTS.
A place where everyone is equally miserable
it’s call HELL and this only the outer perimeters of hell.
It's blight on both ends businesses are closed this is a magnet for the down and out
It's so sad to see our declining nation, especially the city of freedom and brotherly love. It is a wake up call to how far we have fallen.
they have good balance
In the "War on Drugs" , Kensington is needle country. The addicts discretion and posture is distorted ,but the sense of balance seems unaffected......
I don't even wanna know what it's like at night time. I hope God protects the vulnerable 🙏
Here we are rulers of the world but at the same time the weakest.. no animal other than man would live like this
@LeeMilly Ruby I didn’t mean Americans I was referencing the human race
*If they made all drugs legal and free in Portland, would all drug addicts move there and leave the rest of us alone?*
So judgmental.
. So truthful
Люди опомнитесь, жизнь даётся 1 раз🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
😳 that place looks like a big rehab center loose on the streets .
Какая-то героиновая эпидемия, власти интересно реагируют на то что у них происходит
This is pitiful those drugs don’t care who they hurt 😢 😔😔😔😢😢😢
That would be the scenario of this end times and will be getting worst, be sober and ask your salvation by praying unceasingly and of being obedient to God's words.
ua-cam.com/video/CoUYeSgDSl0/v-deo.html
If I had never seen this area for myself in person, I would NOT believe this is real. SMH
Its real its really bad and sad when i saw this in person i didnt want to go back its heart breaking 😞😞😞
ua-cam.com/video/CoUYeSgDSl0/v-deo.html
You better believe. I been there is as real as you are alive.
Yes I am aware that it is real. That is why I said, "If I had not SEEN THIS FOR MYSELF..........IN PERSON".........I wouldn't believe it.
What is the name of this drug that they take, why are some of them reeling and not resting and sitting, why is the government not fighting these drugs and their sources?
ua-cam.com/video/CoUYeSgDSl0/v-deo.html.
Fentanyl and animal tranquilizer
Seeing this makes me wanna weed my beds and trim some trees... Maybe take care of the way the grassline meets the road.. Oh yeah, and THANK GOD I didn't choose this kind of life.
You shouldn’t speak when nothing but bile and crap comes out of it
.. you know nothing about drug addictions..
US Doctors got everyone hooked on OxyContin in the 90s .. I went through it with a family member.. it kills you .. the grief
I doubt most of these people CHOSE this.
Freedom manifests itself in countless ways and not all are great...And These people are no doubt living free.
Hmmm... interesting viewpoint 😃😎👍 living on the razor's Edge, balancing on a Ledge
Immensely sad.
Shut up sith
How is this happening in 2021 in the United States? Does the Mayor and Governor just keep looking the other way. These are human beings withering away in a city of filth. How so very sad. Any update on Caitlin?
Más paradas congelando la imagen y aumentándola,gracias.
Summertime is the worst because it’s not cold out so addicts are more willing to live on the streets with nothing
Whewww these videos make me ITCH!!! 😢
ua-cam.com/video/CoUYeSgDSl0/v-deo.html
That was horrific scene, what is the title of the movie?
It's sad, when Mayor or Governor doesn't want keep it safe or clean for kids and this neighborhood has been in many TV or movies over the years. I think State gets money when people do movies or TV show in this neighborhood or city. I lived in this neighborhood in 90's and couldn't wait to move out of Kensington, because of crack being sold on the streets everyday. They left the caps in front of my apartment everyday for me to clean up.
ua-cam.com/video/CoUYeSgDSl0/v-deo.html
It’s very heartbreaking to see your child like this. Omg but I refused to give up on him now he’s in treatment going on a year.
The police is here? It's bizarre why
ua-cam.com/video/CoUYeSgDSl0/v-deo.html
How can the system let this happen?...the only way to stop this from happening is to get the cause of this off the streets.a whole city gone to ruins.it really breaks my heart to see Americans live like this.Goat.
This is simply what the system is designed to do! And this is not even the endgame...
@@adamevert1618 This is probably a result of freedom and liberty, the system can't do anything, and I agree this is not the endgame
What these people have going on is very scary it looks like they are living in a different kind of world ijs look at them
Que tristeza con toda esta gente, dios los cuide y proteja siempre
The people representing this area should be ashamed of themselves and voted out of office. This is complete neglect of a district. So sad to see:-(
The legal system worries more about people in real pain getting help with meds, than the addicts on the streets buying from drug dealers. What’s up with that?
It is not always sunny in Philadelphia. Place is a dumpster fire.
How can any store make money 💰 besides a liquor store
No respect, for those zombies.. this isn't the American' s dream, but the American' s nightmare.. oh God
ua-cam.com/video/CoUYeSgDSl0/v-deo.html
Is this mumbai?
Yea definitely the work of the devil they've taken the bait and believed his lies he comes to destroy.
I wonder if passengers on the train know what lurks below.
Truly speechless and saddened watching this. I live in the UK and yes we have a drug problem but in all my yrs of life I have not seen such deprivation. Do working class ppl also live in these neighbourhoods?
This is 1 of the main avenues in Philadelphia and yes working class people live there as well but its a shame because the mayor nor the police chief do nothing about it , a lot of movies been filmed in this area thats the only they've cleaned it up but most of it has been gentrified and they have nowhere to go
Its beneath the blue line , the elevated train system between Allegheny and somerset its very cheap and easy to get there from the surrounding areas and a few other cities
What’s with all the stooping and touching the filthy ground? Place must reek of piss and shit! Especially on a hot day.
So what happened ?
Very very sad, will this community ever recover from this
ua-cam.com/video/CoUYeSgDSl0/v-deo.html,
It’s like a f**ked up outdoor yoga class
Как вольно дышат там люди.
Me indigna la indiferencia de las autoridades que no hacen nada para evitar que maten a su gente con esas drogas ,da lastima ver a las personas en poses grotescas y con la mente como perdida.
Eles ganham muito com indústria das drogas. E traficantes é farmacêuticas. Que ajudam os traficantes, e isso são milhares de dólares.
There are so many nice cars that seem out of place
ua-cam.com/video/CoUYeSgDSl0/v-deo.html.
Wow 😪🙏
15 min of relaxing video.
How big abd wide is the space
30k congrats...
what drugs are these guys on most likely? fent?
Yes and elephant tranquilizer
I have family not to far from here on Erie and J which is bad but not like this. I was in Kensington about 2 years ago and it was bad but it looks like it has gotten worse since then.
Pembiaran yg terlalu lama mungkin jadi sangat sulit menanganinya.
If there were schools open to learn whatever you want for free, no tuition, no buying books, no fancy clothes or backpacks. Do you guys think people would chase their dreams and illusions? Seems like they don't have the opportunity or chance.
That bridge looks scary wow they omg thst clothing store is open
Such a beautiful family friendly neighborhood
Question
Isn't there a law against blocking entrances and keeping stores from doing business??
Store owners need to go to Brian Squilla city councilman and Brendan Boyle Congressman to find out what their rights are
Or maybe they've already done ut!
Que pena tanta gente joven,Cristo dale luz
Looks like it was clean up today. I if they ever cleaned up the garbage.
ua-cam.com/video/CoUYeSgDSl0/v-deo.html,
Pensilvania needs a detox center! And start doing forced detox! Even if they can get them off the streets for a little while!
Yes agree there so sick they need their mind detox
What’s really strange is to see all these broken people and then see rows and rows of nice cars parked. Where are the owners of these nice cars?
Que miséria, qual a diferença do Brasil
Sometimes I wonder what exactly is wrong with me. I watch videos like this, like the Japanese tsunami, like traffic accidents and I feel actual serenity. I have no empathy, I've never liked people, myself included, and the most beautiful thing I can think of is the end of the world. Not in some sense of renewal but a total and permanent annihilation of all possibility of life ever coming back. I'm not posting this to be edgy, I genuinely want to understand why I'm like this, and if anyone else feels the same.
You need theraphy to understand those thoughs and feelings.
@@greciacedillo1323 I can't afford it, or I would have gone long ago. As it is, I guess watching these things functions as some kind of therapy. I don't feel malice as I watch thousands of people die, or get hurt, or succumb to addiction. It just brings me peace. I mean, I myself was involved in a terrible wreck that left me bed ridden but I've come back from it. Maybe I'm just evil.
Wait, I’m in LA but is philly actually worse than us?
Do Stella street and that area. North Philly.

What drug causes these people to hunch over and look like zombies? Is a certain drug? prolonged use?
fentanyl
Never ending job to clean up after these junkies 👎👎👎👎
Is this USA?☹️☹️☹️☹️
They just walk on by not seeing if these poor souls are dead .
Veramente mai visto una cosa del genere proprio in Philadelphia .. America
Trust me, the atmosphere will be very different on the day of the Penn-Princeton game (Nov 20)
I am curious whether they take bath.
How can the retailers survive with all these people hanging around?
Is everybody in this area on drugs?
I believe 70%
Yess most likely its very bad 😞
OMG can't beleive it's america. What could the government do for those lost people ??? Can anyone answer ?
Zero sympathy for these people. At some point it’s a choice. You have to want to help yourself. I’d rather focus attention to military veterans who are begging for help from their own VA’s but get nothing from the government they fought to protect. No time should be wasted on street trash. They out there for a reason. Veterans deserve help. Yet get nothing because people would rather sympathize with this bullshit. 🤦🏻♂️
@Gonewiththewind lmao if you say so. Lot of assuming. DUMMY
Looks like a lot of 20-30 year olds and junkie women. And men who never made it out the “hood” but nice try.
@Gonewiththewind lmao the more I watch the video the more dumb your comment looks.
What are they on🥺😱🧐🧐?
