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.
So many people literally on the edge of death......plastic bottles will last longer than these folk.

Your spirit is for ever.
Young people wasting away their life,,so sad
This has made me so incredibly grateful to live in my country Australia we are not perfect but we are not this this is your country America the land of the free. It is so incredibly sad and this is only one city I hope you find a way to save your country because all the money in the world has not. Your beautiful country and the people in it deserve better. God Bless America because you are truly lost.
I dont blame you! America is a real shithole if you’re poor.
Can I suggest Rosie that you go outback Northern Territory and look at how our Indigenous Aboriginal communities are faring before we judge others. Aussie is a massive country.
@Rosie: Thanks for your thoughts. I am 88 yo , born poor in a mining town. I have lived within America's growth and now steep "societal" decline. I am a retired social and behavioral scientist who also did clinical mental health work in corrections settings. So what I say next is a crude distillation of years of observations and experiences in large American cities.
1. Immorality: In general, Americans were more "proper" in manners, speech, and presentation of self, up to the 1950s. The American Civil Rights movement, in combination with Vietnam War, Cold War , and civil unrest brought many societal changes... one being the erosion of good manners and rise of immorality . Music lyrics (rap, funk,), speech and dress reflected all this ... and people now did things that were actually antisocial in the past but now redefined as "cool" .
Within all the above, came the endemic problems of drug abuse. ... and, of course, societal breakdowns linked to drugs.
Today, many Americans do things that would be "shameful" in times past.... as if our moral compass was lost. This shamelessness is amply depicted in movies, music, and in homes where children are being raised....
Anyway, I recognize, that a social/behavioral scientist writing about immorality is weird....But, IMO, this may be because many Americans are now way different than in the past.
2. Glorification of violence. I witnessed a tremendous growth of the "violence" merchants products. Americans literally wallow in its various guises. This violence industry is naturally allied with the immorality issues above. Americans are in love with gore and mayhem....the violence merchants are happy.
3. MISCELLANEOUS other factors. ...
I have to go now..
Thanks for 📚 my post
Hasta luego, Amiga
Fkn agree mate
Naw those people are lazy and idiots to vote for Biden.. also don’t work hard but depend on government assistance… lazy and dumb people will sleep on street. I’m doing great for medium class working in America. Do your jobs and you be fine.
This is TOTALLY out for control

@@broncobrian2344 bring up politics at every chance you get is pathetic
@@mikew1374 truth hurts , does it?
Nah you’re wrong. K&A makes skid row look like paradise. I’ve seen both. In skid row, at least basically everyone has a tent, and there are endless resources and the weather is always nice. The shit people are pumping into their veins in K&A is toxic and all around the city has seen a surge in homicides, kidnappings, and bandos.
Like an apocalypse..end of the world with zombies..so sad
6:25 needle drop thats crazyy 😨
There would be absolutely no way I could live here, this is depressing
not as depressing as you clueless sheeple who line up to get your nazi vaccines.
Why isn’t this on the news🤔🤔????

Is it me or there are more zombies and more garbage than 2 months ago?
It gets worse by the minute.
Thank you Kimgary.
You have opened my eyes to how bad things are inside certain areas.
I am glad my parents pointed me into the right direction, and I in returned did the same to my kids. 👍
( That also for just crime in general too.)

This is so sad, so sad 😞 Lord have mercy, Christ have mercy, Lord have mercy 🥺 🙏
We all watch this video with our noses in the air, but we are only a couple of bad decisions from being out on the street with these people
👍👍
Not me, I lived that life for 12 years. Fuck opiates, that shit sucks ass and will just ruin your life or kill you.
Stick with weed people, even alcohol kills tons of ppl every year. How many people in history have overdosed on marijuana? I bet it's between 0 and 5 lol
Well-Said. Can happen to just about anyone.
@@mikew1374 I know people who's lives were ruined by weed. All drugs are the work of the Devil
@@trailcameralakeloon I've never understood the nonsense espoused by folk who get wasted on weed whilst suggesting everyone else is an idiot 'for taking nastIER drugs'..whilst I appreciate the majority take it moderation and use it 'sensibly', I've also known more than just a few people that can't make it through every damned hour of the day without an excess of the stuff. One guy bled his mother dry for years, playing a massive guilt trip on her daily, suggesting he'd be dead without the stuff, and to the point of when his younger brother found out he knocked him flat out and then kicked him and all his belongings onto the street. Weed became wickedly strong in THC a decade or more ago, the psychiatric wards see more and more of the people that knew full well they should've left it well alone...but that's just a myth, because dying from it is unheard of they forget how dangerous it can be !!
Philly is crazy...
Can't take the heat stay out the kitchen
I love and live for crazy shit😂😂🤣💯✌️😎
How and why did it all happened there? When did all start? This is very sad 😞 we are all sad about it
Drugs.. it’s been going on for awhile. But it got a lot worse.. Fentanyl killing Kensington. And it’s cheap.. Organizations help feed them clothed there They run around all day and hunt for more fentanyl. Repeat cycle.. That area always had a drug problem. It’s cheap ..easily available .Very sad..
6 x 8 foot unbreakable mirrors placed where they can look and see how they are poisoning themselves. Shame is the only game.
I always thought about the US, and how I got there, after seeing this ... my dreams were wiped out
Some of them choose that path on purpose
I'm here already and mine are wiped out
Amen
ow common, this is one block in one city. the usa are still great
@@Mat59582 YOU'RE RIGHT & I BELIEVE A LOT OF IT HAS TO DO WITH TRAMA FROM THEIR PAST SO THEY NUMB THEM SELVES

This is the most disgusting city I have ever seen...I live on the other side of the state and it is NOTHING likethis
What is going on out there?
This is so bad! How can this be in 2021?!!!!!

That fentanyl is sum powerful stuff.
More deadly than black tar heroin from Mexico and stronger.Less than the amount needed to get your heroin fix.
Police captain of this precinct and his men are on the take from drug smugglers and the mayor and city council as well.
That is why there are no arrests for that in this neighborhood of Kensington in Philadephia.
Is now laced wit horse Tranquilizer aswell. Now in days you can’t even find just fentanyl. Is all laced wit anything they get their hands on. The drug dealers should be ashamed of them self.

Dear Democrats: You're doing a fine job.
How are you going to blame the Democrats on the shit that's happening in Philly it's the Philadelphia police that you should be saying nice job too
@@JUSTH8ED The mayor defunded the police and as a result, there are not enough police. Also, the City has been enabling these people by providing them with food and clean needles and this is the result.
@@JUSTH8ED Republicans always blames the Democrats, at the same time they don't do 💩but put children in cages like animals
thats terrible hunter at least you could help clean up after your self having spent the week end there

Whats drug, heroine?
Hope they get their streets cleaned up.
Can someone explain to me why some of these people are always in a bent position instead of just sitting down?
They're high on heroin. It makes them drowsy and zombie-like. It's a hallmark of heroin use. It's kind of like their sleep walking.

Such a waste of humanity, its the same across the U.S. may God have mercy on us all.
The same across Democrat cities and states. Don't be fooled.

I agree why would they leave a town like this full of addictions and such a shit hole
This wouldn't happen in the UK they would be moved on or arrested
@@kathwelch3267 I was in London 5 years ago my hotel room was broken into and got ripped off by a cab driver ...ohhhh well
No.. you need republic to step in and replace all democratic… you need businesses to create jobs and cash flows. Not government assistance where they can still repeat the failure and laziness.
Great video of zombie land in Philly. Unbelievable human decay and Third World looking trash everywhere.

I've struggled with the pros and cons of drug legalization unlike any other philosophy of life. I see strong arguments for both sides. A truly free society has no business being involved with what you ingest, so as long as you don't infringe on others, EVEN if it is self-destructive. There are plenty of people that use even occasional hard drugs, and live essentially a normal life. But then you have the evidence here of what hard drugs often leads to. Then you have the flip side of heavy handed law enforcement, which often leads to an abuse of the constitution where law enforcement becomes a bigger detriment to society than these poor drug souls. Even marijuana is a gateway which often leads to hard drugs. I'm truly perplexed. Help me.
I mean everything those people consume is already illegal and still those streets look like from a dystopian movie scene. I don't think the availability of the drugs, if legal or illegal, really matters that much, if they want to get crack, meth or heroin they will get it anyway. if people's lifes are so fucked up they don't do anything but get high, it leads to this. But the prohibition creates issues with dealers, additional health risks and other issues and i don't see the point.
I don’t know guys. My moral compass says this isn’t right - this is bad, it’s very wrong. I feel from the bottom of my heart that we 🇺🇸 are too free and we are getting ourselves in over our heads. Not just with this crisis but with all the other issues that are snowballing. I think we are in need of new order.
Where are the repercussions for breaking the law? What else is allowed in Kensington? It’s scary to wonder.
@@causti9744 I think it's more complicated than that, Causti. THIS is evidence of what happens with an ultra liberal approach to dope. Not to mention, often, drug usage progresses into darker and darker areas. People aren't just refining the poppy plant now, they are playing with an extremely risky and deadly fentanyl. Yet, again, nobody has the right to tell you what you can do with your body, UNTIL you hurt OTHER people. Fast food probably kills more people than drugs does. I'm perplexed with this one, especially since we are seeing a complete breakdown with government, whom I don't trust to enforce laws like I once did.
@@MissMarshall Certainly, Miss Marshall, a heavy handed police would certainly "clean" things up fast. I could fully understand a ruined store owner wanting his livelihood restored with the firmest means possible. But again, the flip side to this is what we are living TODAY, what the founders warned us of, a tyrannical government. The 4th waiver of the constitution wasn't meant to be thrown out so a dog could alert and search you. Not to mention cops being ultra politicized now. You are ok with government telling you want you can't ingest or not?
I don't see any tents,that makes me think that they're really not homeless
I didn't get to finish if I have the same problem they do in Longview Texas. Half of them are rich kids with trust funds and can afford to live on the street

I can't fix them but these videos help fix me next time I'm tempted to complain about the little things that don't really matter. Also, it is amazing how many politicians will be elected before any of these videos begin to look different.
cant believe what im seein!
Shame on Kenningston for letting this happen. Shame on Philly. All those abandoned buildings out there that could be fixed up and used to rehab these people and yes they are human beings. Im sure there are many Doctors and Nurses as well as interns out there that would be willing to help. Im sure the Philadelphia Eagles Football league and The Philly Baseball and Hockey team as well as all the concerts that happen out there would contribute to helping these people...
Why are these people bent over...looks such a sad place. No work in philly at all
I am Japanese. I cannot speak English at all. I speak Japanese among Japanese in Japan. I have no experience of visiting other foreign countries until today.
I have no experience in meeting homeless people in Japan. In 2023, the Japanese population is 124,000,000 and the number of homeless people is 3,065 from Hokkaido to Okinawa(Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare) After seeing this UA-cam, I became tearful and could not sleep every night. In this UA-cam, every homeless person is not so old, and the character is gentle. I want to hold them, everybody tightly.
I saw this on UA-cam many times with tears. I became very angry with US politicians especially Mr. Trump and Mr. Biden. The two gentlemen can be seen on CNN many times but, both always talk about the US Great Again and support Israel killing Palestinian lovely babies, children, and women 32,070 and never talk about the miserable lovely homeless people in Kensington at all. I want to invite one of the homeless people in Kensington to my small Japanese house. Mr. Trump and Mr. Biden
should visit Kensington immediately. I cannot sleep tonight.

Every major city has its own drug addict problem, this is not just a Red or Blue problem its an American problem
In rural Red states the drug addiction is just as bad as this, we don't know much about because no one is taking video in Appalachia towns.
America is a country from splendor to despair. Everyone is looking for american dream but in this case these people catch a nightmare. Feel sorry for them, where is police, social servis and all the staff to clean this street and put the things in right directions? Probably dont care...BTW what drug they use ?
Greetings from Montenegro
at least they are not on their phone 24/7
So refreshing to see!
ALOT of big and small drones would help drastically. Not one criminal would get away. I wonder if they will ever use that option. It's far more efficient. We could have the whole u.s. cleaned up in like a month. Or less.
I would half too sale out and move out no way would I raise my family in a place like that! I would be afraid my family would grow up and get on that shit! Cause most of the time it’s their friends that get them hooked! Hell no!!!!
