    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.

You can walk to this Gateway to hell in 5 min. This nightmare was created by those in government and those within 3 letter agency's funded by Americans. Pay attention to the day and night sky as the past year event is a big distraction from something that may be coming from far away. See all these people in this video...They are Houseless aka homeless...Proper hygiene - nope. How many died from the event? How many died from overdose, murder, suicide? That number is off the charts. These people will not take just any jab...only if it chases the dragon. This is coming to a city near you but most likely is already there. Go find the Kensington of your area. Good Luck in whatever the future holds. Turn off your television if you haven't already.

      Fentanyl originates from China. 100 x stronger than heroin. Heroin, Percocet, coke, meth, etc. can be cut with fentanyl to make it stronger. Very dangerous and addictive drug, more so than heroin. The addicts are now requesting fentanyl in certain areas because its stronger than heroin. It can kill you in the spot.

    This drug use is by choice. After my car accident, I spent two weeks in the hospital and got some of the strongest grubs known to earth. Every time the pain monitor goes up they were there with morphine or some other pain warrior. I went home and not even a Tylenol I won't take. The visiting nurse told me one morning that my blood pressure was high as a result of the back pain I was experiencing. She called the doctor and they gave me a prescription for pain meds. It's been a year and I saw the prescription last week when I was cleaning up. People have to call it what it is, a bunch of weak individuals who gave up on themselves. You got molested so you stop living. You got rejected so you stop living. You got evicted so you stop living. You got raped so you stop living. I've been through all of the above.
