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.
They should show THIS to children in schools.
Yes
Before Election Day.
Look at a map of the Kensington area; I counted five schools within walking distance of Kensington and there may be more that I missed. I've seen videos showing school buses driving on the streets and parents walking with their school age children. I'm 77 years old and these kids have been exposed to more drug activity than I have in my entire life and that includes 15 months service in Vietnam!
Yes they should but sadly some of them are already exposed to it. Those are some kids loved ones out there.
Yea and money and relationship lessons.U know, actually usefull to know stuff? guess its better to know what happened in 1640 in England.
These images are more effective than any speeches about drugs.
But yet more do it
Bullshit
This is EXACTLY what happens when you wage war on drugs.
@@luisjalabert8366 no, it's what happens when you allow all of them to be legal.
@@MJ-jq4kc drugs are illegal in the US, and it's a country with one of the harshest penalties for drug usage and distribution. Stop lying.
I am shocked and very sad to see what only can be described as some kind of a scene from a dystopian movie. Heartbreaking. I knew problems in Philadelphia were bad but never thought it would look like this.
It’s like a nightmare I would dream that I wouldn’t be able to describe or remember detail by detail because it’s too bizarre

My childhood friend had a restaurant in this neighborhood as little kids we would sit in the car outside and wait for my friend's mom. When the area turned bad in early/mid 80s, My friends dad worked so hard to keep it going. I guess he thought the area would turn around eventually. Frankford Colonial Dinner. RIP Nick and Bob. God bless Mrs G, Mike, Sue, John, Mark and Kevin. All my love to you of you and your families. Thank you for a fun childhood.
I think you saw it at a great time
So sad that it went this way especially for a city that is so important for our nation! Bless you and your friends. Those who are gone are sleeping in the arms of the Lord
What do you think it was in the 80s that made the place change irreversibly ?
i live in london i the late 50tis a old jewish man said to me dont believe in what you see in the films theirs a lot of poor in america
Hi 🙂 was great reading your comment, the positive childhood you had, your heart warming thanks to those passed. Watching these daily scenes of homeless men and women, with addictions, disabilities (both mental and physical) young, old. My first thought...where are your families and why have you chosen this way of living? After reading your thoughts I'm hoping this city is revived, and loved.
The amount of people passed out or hunched over in the street is just mind blowing... I cant beleive how in the open it is... Truely scary to watch...
So don't watch
From Australia, did a trip to the States just before the plague and visited Portland, LA, NYC and went through Philadelphia. Saw so much of this on the streets, so many homeless people. So grateful to live in Australia especially in the Outback. I feel much safer with all the deadly snakes and spiders than in the American cities. So sad for all the people living rough, no hope for them I guess.
Yes, we have some very bad cities, but the vast majority of people choose not to live like this. Meanwhile your country is an authoritarian lock-down prison, and the people are helpless because they gave up their own firearm rights in a short sided reach for safety.
@@heh2k Ya, it must be hell living in Australia. Can you imagine walking down the street and nobodies shooting at you, what kind of life is that? :o)
I suggest you should also make a trip to China, I send you a link, maybe you would like it.

Simply heart breaking ....no words ...
This is my neighborhood and it brings me so much heartbreak to see these people like this because a lot of people are quick to judge not knowing what these people have gone through or what mental illness they have not knowing what drove them into this😢 lifestyle . And yes it’s true it’s their choice to turn this illness into strength or fall into wanting to be numb but we are human and not everyone has that will power To keep going and not give in

came to say the same thing...lots of dead people walking, leaning, sitting, and just being.
You've must have been sleeping under the stone for last 40 years if You didn't noticed what's around.
This is what they call "urban culture"
So very, very sad. The homelessness, drug and alcohol addiction, the poverty, and the poor woman walking her daughter through all this mess. I couldn't finish watching it.
Yes very sad I’m thankful I don’t live there
Omg...many people cant help...pliz help
I couldn't either. It is deeply tragic. People make such a big deal about 'public health crisis', yet nothing is being done about the millions suffering from the nightmare of addiction. These people need medical intervention if they are to get off that stuff. For most of them, there is a definite danger they could die going through detox.
There is a way out, many ways. But someone has to be out of their stupor in order to do it.
I have spent a few decades in 12 step groups, I am quite familiar with what these folks go through. And I have seen many find their way out. Only, After they get out of the biochemical trap of addiction.
@@jokoartono7594 plenty of organizations and ordinary people offer help. Its literally a "community of hopeless people" thousands of individuals within a few blocks all committing suicide slowly. It is immensely sad seeing it unfold like i do. Ive thought of many solutions but none would work. Certain laws seem to impede every idea on how to improve the situation
It's sickening, so blessed to be born into a family of hard workers and have always worked to have my own property not in any city or even close.
I live in the woods and have to travel to get water/shower. My first winter in a camper was unbelievably cold. People say that I live rough. My existence is a cake walk compared to what these people are living every day, and probably all night. 😢 edit: I want Spirit to know how blessed I feel to finally have a cabin. ❤
So many people's son's and daughter's , nieces and nephews , mom's and dad's ... So many loved ones in need of help. I can't even wrap my mind around this ...
It looks like a Zombie nation. How horrible that people actually live like this. It's mindblowing.

what drug are they into ?
They are just high on life did you see person doing street yoga in the beautiful sunshine? 2:02
They need The Untouchables to raid the suppliers.
Worse than any horror film😩
2:45 oh the sad irony of that sign "rebuild Philadelphia" next to a pile of trash and a heroin addict nodding off. Why is this such a common theme in bigger cities now?
I think you know the answer. Certail politician want dumbed down dependent controlled populations. Other that instead want to help people lift themselves up are made to look like cruel people who don't want to help and give free shit. The old, give a fish or teach someone how to fish analogy. Think about who runs every city....
Liberal government
Liberal governments making life on the streets too easy - plentiful food, water, clean needles, etc.
There are more resources available in larger cities for these people. Whether they are good or bad. Stop with the stupid political party garbage. You can he homeless in a small town but you would stick out like a sore thumb, no soup kitchens, rarely shelters and if you're a drug addict, not much availability.
Build back better
I'm living a sheltered life cause I haven't seen anything like this before, this is so sad. My heart hurts for these humans. I think they need to show these videos in schools, these videos give a dose of reality.
It really breaks my heart as well to see people in this state all due to drug addiction, I wish I could do something to help them.
My gut hurts.............................. From laughing
Sheltered by choice? 😢 Sucks. Welcome to the real world. We miss you. Stay safe.🙋🏻♀️🇨🇦
I wonder whether their own families and their local government have given up on these Kensington habitants. I hope there are plans and efforts to save them from their situation. I wish they can all be shepherded into one facility where they can be bathed, fed, treated, loved, spiritually counselled, skills-trained., value-reoriented, and consistently and persistently guided and monitored. God knows what brought them to these predicaments. I am from a third world country with many of my own family members now working and living good lives in America and it is hard to see that this leading country's own people live and exist this way. I can only offer daily prayers that one way or another, they get to live better lives.
I have a friend who used to hang out here and was addicted for a good seven years. He got clean and has been both clean and sober for six years now and is doing well for himself. It is possible, but it’s the hardest route and not everyone is ready or able to do that
I'm happy for your friend !I hope he still doing well in his life and I wish him all the best ! XOXO from Belgium
So.
It seems no race is over represented there . Poverty and addiction don't discriminate.
Dude, I grew up in poverty. I lived a stereotype. Drugs is a choice. A bad one.
@@SA-xf1eb yeah they start out as a choice , sometimes it's not a choice to stop . Just pointing out all races suffer from common issues.
Truth. Also, a lot of these people come from VERY affluent backgrounds here in Philly.
This is seriously mind-blowing. Wow. I can't believe how sad this makes me.
@Boo Boo Boo Why are you assuming I vote for liberal policies? Why are you bossing a random person you know nothing about?
this documentary is good and a help. it is also a warning to others, especially the youth, of what will happen to them if they use drugs. but it should not stop just like this. the work of the government with the unity of all is needed for a possible solution to this pandemic.
I used to be in that kind off world in SCOTLAND 🏴, you need to want to change your life, I stopped DRUGS, got myself a house, now I have my family back in my life.. honestly seeing these poor people is actually heartbreaking.. GOD BLESS THEM 👍🏴
Good on you! Enjoy life - you live in a beautiful country enjoy it!
I’m from England and moved to New York 6 years ago - I’ve worked in phili sometimes in the prisons on their HVAC systems. It’s a shame coz it’s a great city.
Well done!!

There's always a reason. These people just don't know it.
thank you for sharing
I've never seen block after block after block of these poor souls. It's riveting and scary, and heartwrenching
I've never seen anything like this. Very shocking and sad.
Тебе грустно,а наркоманам весело
Never seen so many people shooting up literally walking down the sidewalk... wow.
Being a burden like this on society isn’t cool, this bad behavior shouldn’t be allowed, it should be stopped for health and safety reasons.
Word.
What drug is causing them to lean over like that? We have the same problem here in NYC. Its so sad.
I gotta say these junkies are flexible AF. some of them sleeping on the concrete floor like folded fortune cookies
Can you imagine how their bodies must feel after all these bends...
Thank you, kimgary, for taking time to do this. The first step to ending it is to bring attention to it.
freedom is not free. Drugs should be banned, ruinned bodies & his/her family. In my country, dealers >50g heroin could be death penalty..
love your channel
Very educational, choices u make …
Almost surreal, these people were once loved family members . Makes me wonder how they lost their way it's really sad I hope they find peace
DOPE! thats how they dont care and their families gave up on assholes!
Maybe they were to loved.
This scene deserves to be sent to the son of a bitch, the American president, Biden, the bastard, the shoe. The son of the boot, the damned Biden, wants to dictate how to live in Saudi Arabia and his people sleep and practice immorality while they are unconscious like pigs in the streets of America. Bloody, unclean bastard, may God curse the bastard Biden
it's been started way before Biden, why don't you blame Bush?
Boo Boo can't really be that dumb to believe that. He's just desperate for a reaction here.
When a person feels worthless, they will do and take whatever they can to blur reality. Our society is broken, and these are the forgotten ones.
You would not see something like this in Germany. Of course there are bad places but this... I really don't know why Americans have such a problem with helping other people.
@@brylski6 Americans don't have a problem helping one another. This is a break down in society itself. This is a problem grander than any individual. Fixing this takes great change in how we function as a society.
@@brylski6 neither do I. It saddens me to watch my country behave like crabs in a bucket
They aren't forgotten. That's the sickest part. They were pushed into this state of reality because a core function of capitalism is to establish the commercial value of opportunity, as compared to the commercial value of human life. If you aren't productive enough, you will continuously fall until you slip through the cracks and either die, or walk the streets as a corpse. The zombie apocalypse trope isn't about a disease of the body or mind, it's a disease of society itself. The disease we inflict by forcing everyone to fit into the system of faith we call Economics. These people are an advertisement to others. One that reminds them of the alternative to throwing their lives away on the dreams of people who are already wealthy.
Our society is intentionally creating false economic scarcity in order to coerce people into working jobs that are not gainful and often serve to harm the economy overall by siphoning wealth out of the country to foreign holdings. It's slavery of the mind for those on the street boufed outa their minds, AND for everyone passing them who hasn't quite fallen through the cracks yet.
It's criminal that in the wealthiest nation of all recorded human history that a single human being is left to waste away in poverty. We have enough resources and income to empower every single human born in this country to be ANYTHING better than this. We just have to stop letting wealth consolidators take resources they don't need and embrace the idea that some people just want to exist. And that's just fine too.
@@brylski6 All the trillions spent by American taxpayers since LBJ's Great Society of the 1960s and you have the gall to say Americans have a problem helping other people? Add that to religious charities. Some people can't be helped. Some people will take the the needle, pill, or pipe over anyone's offer of help and then drag the helpers down with them. But I like your idea about Germany. Let's gather all these people up and fly them to Germany ASAP where they can be helped.
I see some skips are full up, is their not have someone to take it away and empty it?
You can tell when the dealers are out it seems a lot are having these symptoms at the same time
I like the part where we see some cops be like: 'yeah, we're here because there seems to be some sort of emergency', while everything around them is more or less in the same situation.
Cops didnt cause this, they got no power to fix it either. Evil starts at the top
haha lmao no fuckin doubt eh lol
Meanwhile, small town cops harassing people for dumb shit like speeding. Philly cops got real work.
What do you expect them to do? They are cops not social workers. This is increasing and every day. They are human doing what their job entails. Right? 🤷🏻♀️🇨🇦
All these people struggle, and all these folks have their own story of how they ended up there. Thank you for shedding some light on the reality of the struggle in Philly. Sadly, I dont see the city doing anything anytime soon to help these people out. Theyve been saying they would help them for years, and its only gotten worse.
You can't help them because they ended up there because they wanted to. The correct response to stuff like this is: If you're seen shooting up in public etc you go to jail instead of being ignored.
@@1lapmagic This is absolute nonsense. If you became homeless tomorrow, how would you get out of it? How would you avoid the despair? And on top of that, what part of being an addict makes you unworthy of help?
Help can't just be putting people away so you don't have to see this.
@@brutalistdude301 people are homeless primarily because they want to be homeless. If you actually had experience with the homeless, you would know this.
@@1lapmagic I guarantee you, no one wants to be a homeless drug addict. You don't see this sort of thing in countries with more proactive drug policies. Denmark will give you narcotics and clean needles for free, as well as offer rehabilitation and job services. Most people get clean and turn their life around.
@@1lapmagic So every person who is homeless are people who just don't want to live anywhere but the street? They just like it, and wanna be there?
Nice to see everybody getting along!

This is a Democrat-run city. Democrats love to focus on “Social issues”, instead of law and order and the economy.
@@MostlyPeacefulNinja homeless people and drug addicts are not going away of you employ the Iron Fist.
Social work is exactly what is needed.
@@frontliner2 Please stop this nonsense. Your ideas are the very reason why that city is like that. You think you have something new to say, but you don’t…
Social work does not build an economy. Disciplined men build economies. These druggies don’t need coddling, they need to get off the drugs and get back to life!
Best of luck in life 🙄
@@MostlyPeacefulNinja that's not how it works. People that suffer immensely and have nothing left to lose will not be able to better themselves.
Look at the European model, way better. Takes investment but afterwards when they're better and start taking care of themselves again everybody wins.
Being hard on the sick and weak is exactly why the US sucks so much.
I guess being empathic doesn't mix well with your Trump fandom.
Democrates are in charge of this mess
Thanks for this. It seems many people in the comments are surprised by this - but trust me folks, this is not something that just "happened" in recent years. It's been like this for as long as I can remember (I'm 31), and there are thousands of places like this all over the states (I travel in my job).
What's even more sad, is these places are usually just a few miles down the road from "wealthy" neighborhoods and businesses.
All these people saying "we need to clean the streets up!" Dont realize that just means dropping them off somewhere else ot putting them in Jail. It never involves helping them.
@@jamesreid546 if they wanted help they would get it
@@jamesreid546 i think that it is not easy to help people who are on drugs, they are addicted do it ... it's not even possible to go back

It is less of a homeless problem and more of a drug problem. I just don’t see how this will ever get better.
More of a Democrat problem...

It's like a scene from a horror movie or something. This is absolutely tragic. These poor people.
Funny, we think it's a scene from a good comedy.
These videos should be Incorporated in every learning and training institutions in society, and when I said evey, I mean every one. From Daycares, Kindergarten, Pre School, Elementary,
HIigh School, Colleges , Universities, Nursing Homes, Auspices ,Wakes, Funeral Homes , Jails and Prisons. Period.
Show this to the kids. Show em what it looks like when the party is over. Heroin is a destroyer of souls. The fact we're leaving these people hung out to dry like this here in the states just makes me feel sick to my stomach.
Nothing wrong with cheap as chips pharmo pure H/diamorphine. Sure, addiction will follow but as in 60's, and latterly Lpool /Uk care of insightful Howard Marks set up again proved , take away the struggle to obtain, state supply of quality gear enabled folks to get on with things, like employment , family etc whilst satisfying the essentially small need for assured maintenance.
Stuff the methadone delayers.
Everyone needs to see this. Everyone knows ghettos exist and that addiction is rampant, but actually seeing it? It’s so much worse than I would have ever thought. This shit is better than any anti drug program out there. It’s jarring.
Fentanyl has put an extra nail in the coffin
@@suzyqualcast6269 you're saying give them drugs? Naw. I'll pass. These people need help. And if they don't want it something else needs to happen, not sure what but not enabling them to get these drugs.
They did this to themselves it's not my responsibility. I was smart enough not to get on drugs what's their excuse?
To live like this everyday is totally insane when you pass into that area you actually feel how sad and despicable it is it's unbelievable how this is going on and no one seems to do anything about it especially the mayor and other politicians of this city it's a disgrace
My sentiments exactly!!!
So what is your suggestion for eliminating the problem? Everyone can bitch about it...
I don't have one BTW.
This is what happens when it's runned by Democrats
This has been here longer than any one political party. Get off your high horse.
There is no will on their part. If the state would spend more on rehabilitation it could change
This is completely awful. However I am impressed at how well everyone seems to get along. Sure they’re passed out most of the time, but still. And how do people sleep folded in 1/2, still standing? I can’t even do that sober.
I don't think they are like that most of the time - in that case they couldn't sustain themselves. And that condition can't be sleep, the sense of balance must still be intact.
So sad 😢
I hope those people get help 💔
So sad 😭 every person there is messed up on dope, I've never seen anything like this. Pray for these people!

Lived in Philly for 8 years. The first bit of the video appears to be at Kensington & Allegheny.

The Kensington neighborhood is very well known for this sad state of affairs.
K&A has had a reputation for many years, unfortunately. It certainly wasn't this bad though in the late 80s when I used to hang down there. This is really shocking to see.

I am not American and this video made me speechless. All the poor souls looked trapped there. Can you tell me what exactly is this sad state of affairs attributed to?
@@kaymadd a lot of things really. The cost of living does not match wages, not even close. Most people are only 1 missed paycheck away from homelessness and from there it is very hard to get out if you dont have social supports (friends, family, etc). The pandemic caused a lot of people to lose their jobs (if they ever had one to begin with). Healthcare is very inaccessible because of how expensive it is, and mental healthcare even more so. Once drugs are involved it becomes even harder to get out of the cycle because there are the issues of physical dependency (quitting some drugs without tapering use can even cause death) and psychological addiction (self medicating physical or mental ailments or just needing a distraction from how shitty life is). Basically the only options for these people are things that require a lot of time and resources, and because the government literally does not care its up to the charity of people who see these people as subhuman. Those social services that are "available" for people to go to for help are severely overworked and overburdened by the amount of people who need help
@@littlepapaya Well stated. You basically touched on every major obstacle/probable cause:effect examples of experiencing the lifestyles and the consequences that follow the environment they’re forced to endure while caught up in it. There is help out there but ppl need to put the work in , which can feel impossible when all the bullshit is jammed down your throat on the regular…

This is what lack of access to abortion, lack of safety-nets, lack of education and social policies gets you. Very few developed places in the world have to deal with issues like these because of how much more advanced and accepting they are of social values.
This situation is not exclusive to Philadelphia ... I've traveled a lot and pretty much every major US city has this problem ...
My city has nothing closely resembling this third world nightmare
Decades ago, Elton John wrote a song called ‘Philadelphia Freedom’. Sadly, this is no longer a celebrated place. Very sad indeed.
I show this to my nieces and nephews to be a reminder that if they slip up they could up here......
Watching from Europe.. didn't know there was a zombie apocalypse going on in America :') This is just beyond insane.
i traveld all over the world and theirs pleanty of these places in europe my friend
@@stephenguidry7627 LOL I can assure you that there is not 1 place in Europe that looks even remotely close to these videos. So stop lying about "traveling all over the world".
Don't feel to special. There are plenty of areas like that there
@@markgraves9429 Already, tell me 1 area in EUROPE that's like this zombietown? I get it.. ur a "proud" American that can't accept the fact that America is messed the f up.
shit i live here and i didnt know either damn its gotten bad on that side of the states.
Some of these zombies were funny though lol
Lived less than a mile from KnA and Clearfield, towards Port Richmond, a little over a decade ago. Moved to Philadelphia from the midwest to do service work. It was rough then, but nothing like now. Back then it was sketchy, dangerous even if you didn't keep your head up and on swivel. I was just some dumb naive kid but was mostly fine. There was one time I had to pull my work knife as I suspect a person at night was about to jump me. There was a shooting in my neighborhood but it was targeted. I figured that it came with the territory of living in a major city. I still figure that's all it was. Now to see what the area I traveled through every day of my time in Philly has turned into it's absolutely incredible. This is worse than I could ever imagine a major american city could be. I used to regularly grab the bus on corner across the street from the KnA stop, near the old Wells Fargo. Back then there wasn't a tent encampment next to Walgreens. That was always clear. People were constantly walking around but no one leaned over like zombies. People slept on the ground, and there was definitely homeless, but nothing like this. What the hell happened?
Democrats happened it all started with Bill Clinton and has gotten worse since.
@@missourimule2827 you are blaming other shit been like this for decade asshol?
Fentanyl happened
@@missourimule2827 Bullshit. Dems aren't innocent, but the Drug War was Nixon's baby that Reagan ramped up to eleven. Trying to exonerate those traitors just shows how skewed your world view is.
The people that say taking drugs is a victimless crime should spend the day here.
Beautiful video... 'Great' America... country is going down!
Last I checked since 911 it has been long since down. 😢🤷🏻♀️🇨🇦
Unbelievable, i could have never imagined things are that bad. W T F
@UCj_cI_NK5FhFWfaYHiA1ECQ stfu with your agenda
Really? Crawl out of your hole
@@guzziguy2011 what do u mean, not everyone lives in a 3rd world shithole
@@demodoku_hessen7760 this is philly....i gurantee you only like few miles from a street not too far off from this(assuming you live in US)
@@hunterdudley7209 i live in norway. The area seen her is probably bigger than our largest City. Its like if Oslo was full of homeless and addicts. Good on you getting away from Afghanistan, you guys need to clean your own living room first, murica...
Kensington, where the streets are paved with gold!
Grande América, que bons exemplos dás tu ao Mundo.
Some places in the US make my childhood from a poor village in India seem positively charming and whimsical in comparison! Wow, I wish them a better future.
Very sad, how a soul be lost like that. I hope that they find love & Light.
This makes you put things into perspective.
I can’t believe the city allows this and it’s strange as hell how they all congregate to this area and hang around the street. Shits just weird as hell to me
How in Gods name is that enjoyable.. God bless u all and Pray for Sobriety 1 day before it's too late☝🙏🙏🙏
Watching this made me think of Neil Young's The Needle and the Damage Done. " Every junkies like a setting sun." Indeed.
These are fentanyl junkies. The stuff Neil young was talking about was real heroin. This is synthetic. Literally the devil's work. Sorcery designed to kill off a large percentage of the population
It’s not sorcery, and it’s not some elite group either. It’s us, we create it, we sell it to each other, we use it. Just like fast food, just like cigarettes. People like too believe there’s some almighty, all seeing group of powerful people. It’s just greed, good old fashioned greed. We all contribute to our own demise. Greed is the reason for our rapidly declining society. It’s all about the benjamins not magic
@@drinkingpoolwater No drug is "designed" to kill it's clientele. Fent is dangerous for other reasons.
Sunsets are beautiful. Junkies are like ... depends on if the addict is someone you love, I suppose.
I have lots of family that live in PA. I pass through here every time I get to Philly. Ever since some of my family members moved here over 20 years ago this been like this.
Страшно, это молодые люди, будущее страны (((
Worst life with drugs
Dang.
Thank you for making a video like this, people need to see this with their own eyes sometimes too, instead of just videos. Makes you see and feel it different when it's 5-10 feet away from you.
Where are the news ? the celebrities? bill gates ? why isn’t this on every news station in US ? It is so disgusting and sad at the same time, these are young people
U should move.
@@craigmoul4 you should.
Man wtf... is the government doing anything about this? Not only people are literally dying in the sidewalks but look at how nasty these streets are. What are people paying taxes for?
So they can spend it on our military occupying countries where we don't need to be
This what they want, easy to control mindless zombies than intelligent beings.
@@nnameriF that's a completely idiotic sentence. It's certainly not in any government's interest to have thousands of completely unproductive citizens who are just a waste of resources.
I understand you love conspiracy theories but you're 100% wrong.
@@ami6272 bro i think all they want is that that people should work and just work without even thinking or understanding or questioning anything
Almost every aid program Philadelphia has enacted to help the homeless and drug addicts has been abused by the local suburbs and townships. They'll round up THEIR homeless and drug addicts, tell them "Philly will help" and then pay for their transit. When you do that instead of following the example, you get one decent social program overburdened and unable to help, with the homeless population skyrocketing. As a Philadelphia local, I have nothing but disdain for my fellow Pennsylvanians for the kind of shit they pull whenever our local government finds something that MIGHT work in terms of helping people. It's bad enough the rest of the state actively works to sabotage us up in Harrisburg with the ridiculous charter school quotas sapping our education and attempts to slash SEPTA's funding to cut out our commuting workforce. But adding to our homeless population bc we want to provide a little humanitarian aid really takes the fucking cake, for me at least.
Es muy triste es desgarrador 🥺
So I had 20 years clean. In my personal circumstances it never gets easier you still want that first hit the first rush and I love it and fucking HATE it with a passion. Anybody fighting or hoping to fight the devil drug one day, good luck. It's hard but worth it 🇬🇧🖤. Sending love from the UK xx
God bless you...
So are you still clean? Or you did 20 years and relapsed?
@@theequalizer7760 Thank You 🖤
@@studas2011 well I had a one time hiccup!
About 18 years ago. It was litterally a one and done hiccup, thankfully. So I have done 18 years with no hiccups. 👍🏽
@@kimpicot9000 GOOD JOB GIRL!!!! SOOOOOO not easy to break the cycle of addiction to anything really- heroin, food!, soda, sugar, alcohol.... anything that is an addiction is hard as hell to quit! But you are doing it! 👏👏👏
This pretty much in every city village and town in the usa... the bigger cities it is easier to see
This is just insane Lord I pray for these people! Help them find peace in Jesus name Amen❤
This is seriously messed up!! Heart breaking.
Много детей больных ,а у тебя за паразитов сердце разрывается?
4:03 You will not, ever, find ONE person on the streets in the Netherlands in THIS pose without somebody trying to help him/her
That's cause it's uncommon in NL, if it's everywhere you get numb to seeing it.
@@mathiasghyselinck1793 sounds like a lame excuse.
No, instead u would find ppl mostly staring, trying to film this dumb shit with ur phone 🙃
@@MyOwnWorld221 ? no not in the netherlands nice try
You can't help people who don't want your help.
