Philadelphia's most dangerous street.
Problems with Drugs and Crime in Kensington Ave, Philadelphia
In Philadelphia as a whole, violent crime and drug abuse are major issues. The city has a higher rate of violent crime than the national average and other similarly sized metropolitan areas. The drug overdose rate in Philadelphia is also concerning. Between 2013 and 2015, the number of drug overdose deaths in the city increased by 50%, with more than twice as many deaths from overdoses as homicides. 2 Kensington's high crime rate and drug abuse contribute significantly to Philadelphia's problems.
Because of the high number of drugs in the neighborhood, Kensington has the third-highest drug crime rate by neighborhood in Philadelphia, at 3.57. The opioid epidemic has played a significant role in this problem, as it has in much of the rest of the country. Opioid abuse has skyrocketed in the United States over the last two decades, and Philadelphia is no exception. In addition to having a high rate of drug overdose deaths, 80% of Philadelphia's overdose deaths involved opioids, and Kensington is a significant contributor to this figure. This Philadelphia neighborhood is said to have the largest open-air heroin market on the East Coast, with many neighbors migrating to the area for heroin and other opioids. With such a high concentration of drugs in Kensington, many state and local officials have focused on the neighborhood in an attempt to address Philadelphia's problem.

I'm 65, and in my life I've managed to dodge accidents and injuries and bad luck and most of all, hard drugs. I can see where casual experimentation with something like this could completely derail your life in a heartbeat. It's very, very sad.
My wife and I are in our mid 80's, we both saw the movie: Man With a Golden Arm. It was all we needed to convince us to never try drugs (other than a good single malt Scotch).
I'm 64 mate & similar to that (🤞) & totally with u on the 'hard drugs' bit. Give me a nice piece of hash & I'm a happy camper. That'll do me. Never even wanted to snort anything, let alone inject sh!t. Nah, not for me thanks.
I've seen people descend into that pit & it's awful to watch & not be able to do anything about it.
You would think as much money as big pharma has made they would hand out free Suboxone and at least narcan but that doesn't help the trank victim's Sad to see these places in such decline
@@ivorscrotumic3556 Plenty of evidence linking cannabis with mental illness, especially if the user has an underlying propensity. And the modern medical thinking is that there is no safe level of alcohol consumption.
On saying this I do believe life is for living and each to his own, but what is seen in this video could hardly be classed as living. For the vast majority of them euthanasia would be a humane option.
Isn’t Donald Trump’s solution to the problem to round them all up and put them in rehabilitation camps, which meets the definition of a concentration camp. That is to concentrate these undesirables away from the rest of us. Short step from this to extermination camps.
A large portion of opioid addiction was not caused by casual or experimental use. Our Dr's encouraged the use of opioids for minor and major pain. I've never taken anything stronger than an ibuprofen despite having had my shoulder ripped apart. Taking pills, relying on a drug to mask pain instead of curing it always felt like a crutch. Anyone of us could have fell victim to the System though.
Holy shit imagine watching this and you spot an old friend or worse, a relative
This is how you measure a society or a country. how it treats its most vulnerable people. That's someone's child out there, young women it is a travesty of existence
Much of the info this video provides is incorrect as well. Exploitation for content, likes, and views.
@leopard36cat, Once the people have hit this rock bottom of their drug addiction they have had numerous chances to enter rehab and stop drugs, they choose to continue using drugs. The only failure of society is not to enforce the laws against using drugs in public and camping on the public sidewalk and get these addicts in a mandated rehab program through the legal system.
@@BarryWinner2075 forcing rehabilitation does not work and hasn't worked in the history of drug enforcement legislation. Rock bottom is different for every single person. Homelessness isn't everyone's bottom. You obviously do not work in the field nor do you know much about addiction recovery in Philadelphia, thats 100% CLEAR. 🤦🏻♂️
@@PhillyPyroKev We can all agree I know more about the field than you do, and forced rehab certainly does work when the addict is locked in the rehab facility, he certainly won't doing drugs and will be detoxed from the drugs, then he can be put on weekly drug testing and a jobs program. If comes back with a dirty test he goes back into the locked rehab facility, works every time. And they won't be lounging on the public sidewalk anymore.
Quite agree with you. The American political system is skewed to the far right. You will not see scenes like this in Europe. In America it's dog eat dog, no proper health care or social responsibility.
Walking barefoot down Kensington Ave is a whole nother level of IDGAF
Fr tho
Stepping on needles, broken glass, etc.
Got them circle k feet
We've reached a saturation point where the Kensington vloggers outnumber the addicts.
Agreed. It’s extremely exploitative.
Thank you for this documentary
The scenery is eerily similar to a post-apocalyptic video game. That's crazy.
Really
Life imitates art.
That's a new type of drug Substance abuse called "Xylazine" or (Tranq) ... which cause that zombie action situation
@@ScRaPeR2012It's like the crocodile drug in Russia
That's crazy bro I went to a basketball game that shit look just like 2k 🤯
I'm a former Philadelphia resident of 66 years. This has been going on for years in this part of the city. It's like Zombie Land. Thank you for this documentary, hopefully the city/state will at least try an to address this situation. I no longer reside in Pennsylvania, but it's still heartbreaking to see nothing getting better😢
The area between like K&A and Sommerset and A street has been a drug heaven since at least the 1980s. Though at least closer to K&A was White working class back then. Since the deindustrialization of Philadelphia, the entire city just gets worse and worse and worse.
@@tarstarkusz They had some of the episodes of the COPS show from the 1980's -90's showing drug zone in Pittsburgh and some of Kensington, It looked like everyone would go into abandoned buildings and shooting galleries to shoot up and use the drugs, no one would dare shoot up right out in public and they had the police busting people left and right for selling and buying little bindles of crack and heroin and chasing people out of abandoned buildings. And all the stores were open too.
The city won't be addressing anything. They are well aware of what is going on and actually stimulate the crisis.
@@AB-12345”Stimulate the crisis”? Why?
@@maximilianotorro527 Zionist agenda. They want to dilute and later destroy the nations.
The city, county, and state are shameful for allowing this, and letting this get this far out of hand. OPEN some dam rehab centers, hospitals specifically for their needs to become sober.
Democrat ran city they love giving out money just not to the people living in it..
Where is the church? Terrible! There should be church presence and care there.
@@angelawaldoch2753 The first error in your idea is thinking any of this will get better with religion. The second is anyone trying to force a change on these people and expect a good result. You are just costing tax payers more money and wasting money on buildings and rehab centers and whatever else. Until they are ready , you have absolutely zero ability to cause a good outcome. Even locking them into a prison does not keep them off it , they are mentally locked on to it and stay there until they are mentally ready to get off it. Stop thinking anything forced on to them will make a difference. You might , and I mean might see 1 to 2 percent of people who change say something other than they done it for themselves , most of the time , its a sole action from the user. An epiphany if you will.
@@Obxhatman””these type of people” Please elaborate. Also, this is a mental health crisis.
Something like this would never be allowed to get so out of control in the UK! They need to start locking up the dealers for a very long time
I can't fathom falling into such despair.
Sad! It is so sad that the politicians do nothing to help these people.
They do ....billions overseas ......netherlands.
These people don't vote?
Democrats have never and will never assist American citizens.
@@antoonvermeulen8064🤔
Like what?.these people have got to want to fix themselves
Kensington Ave used to be block afyer block of thriving businesses. It is HORRIFYING to see what it has become.
Society of reprobate minds...
You can't expect mentally or emotionally drug addicted people to make rash reasonable choices and decisions. It is a vicious cycle.
That's a new type of drug Substance abuse called "Xylazine" or (Tranq) ... which cause that zombie action situation
@@ScRaPeR2012 Will be newest more and more... Why on the streets??? WHY??? System.
Wasn't saying this in the 80s.....it was mandatory minimums....you reap what you sew
There are so many different options to choose from to help people through difficult times. These people choose drugs. No sympathy for them!
😮 Shocking. In Paris we've got crackheads' issues . We also have homeless people and an increasing number of migrants living in the streets... but this is unbelievable , like hell on earth. I'll go to church tomorrow, and I ll pray for these abandoned people .
But you can get crackheads to work.
Praying is alright, but shouldn't the church be taking s more hands on approach to this problem?
So much info given in this documentary is incorrect. 1. Half of the people you filmed were just people walking by.
2. There is no Heroin in the drug supply anymore in Philadelphia and hasnt been in there since the early 2000s, and most times there isnt even Fentanyl. The dope supply in Philadelphia is 99.9% Xylazine only. I work in the field and everyone coming in to detox/rehab show no opioids or fentanyl on a UDS(since fentanyl shows up as its own panel on a UDS). People go into detox saying they need to detox from fentanyl and they have no idea that they havent even been doing any fentanyl or heroin and all they are using is the xylazine. There is new criteria coming out for the w/d symptoms and treatment of Xylazine since no one really knows how to provide w/d management for it since it isnt meant to be injected or snorted by humans.
Im so tired of these channels that exploit brothers, sisters, moms, and dads who are struggling for views and cant even give factual information. 🤦🏻♂️
im so glad i got clean 4 years ago. i used to live with those same type of people. im sure most can become productive members of society (like me) if we could just figure out how to do it. ive known SO many people that overdosed. One i gave cpr to but just couldnt save him. 450k lives should mean we do something about this/ thats 10x more than vietnam
There are so many reasons why people end up on this dark path, we need to actually put money into social services. We need to find children who are abused and neglected. Do more for vets, the mentally challenged, the mentally ill, those who age out of foster care, when it comes to caring for the weakest amongst us we suck .
People who are lucky enough to be successful in life don't understand just how easy it is to slip through the cracks and get left behind by society. You can be as smart as you want, work as hard as you want etc., but if the universe hates you and you have garbage luck, nothing will ever fall into place or work out in your favor. Eventually, you're left with nothing and the thought of trying again seems pointless.
Watching from India, I am so sad to see that these beautiful young people are dying slow death. This is called murdering people with slow poison. This is zombie life. Why responsible people are not being held accountable, why no ban on these substances. Life is so precious, cannot be wasted like this!
Opioids have ruined these places.. And it all started with one big pharmaceutical company who pushed doctors to give oxytocin as painkillers which was equivalent to heroin..
All this is very horrible, since these drugs are easily available and the legal system can be tricked to get it.
These videos are so much better presented in silence without the moralistic commentary.
Das Huhn bei 4.20, wie schön. So ein Lichtblick in all dem Elend.
@ SBC News - thank you again for another great video; helping those who've chuildren lost to this lifestyle to at least get a glimpse of them.
They’re not helping. They’re making great money on these videos.
easy fix. You tell them you have two options. 1) go to jail or 2) go to rehab. Stop letting these people destroy cities. Businesses cant function and lose business because no one wants to be attacked by a homeless drug person
You won't see this on the tourist brochure.
I understand people being on drugs, but why is there no one to clean up the extreme litter & trash in the area? It looks disgusting 🫤
Because it would be a never ending job with no results.
@@canufi6my i get that too but that’s the whole point of maintenance. maintenance in itself is a never ending job cause something is ALWAYS gonna be dirty. but i also understand many ppl don’t want to be in that type of area, doing that kind of job
They do the city takes sections and clean up every thing tents ⛺ clothes shoes boxes needles poop urine and I imagine body's to .after they clean it up then they pressure wash the streets side walks and the walls of the building and then it all starts over agian over and over agian
@@rustymachineshop9456 oh okay thank you for explaining! I'm from nyc so I wasn't sure how it works in Philly
@@TeeRqlWhat's really happening in NYC with all the immigrants?
Very informative and very well spoken. Who wrote your dialog ?
What makes you think he didn't write it?
Why are chickens doing on the sidewalks lol
Because we are delving deeper into being a third world country
Dropping nuggets!
@@caesar349Russia is a 3rd world country?
@@michimprinterious8971 it’s on its way under the murderer Putin. But hey- Biden ruined America too so it’s all the same.
Isso é de cortar o coração, muita tristeza por ver pessoas tão jovens, morrendo ao vivo nas ruas! Que Deus tenha compaixão de todos, e das familias que estão perdendo essas pessoas!😪!
4:27 Lmao wtf is that chicken doing there? xD
Eggs! Gotta eat!
Its sad to see all those lifes lost to drugs, their choice or not. i wish they could find some joy in their life, live a life of happiness and see all the beautiful things that life can bring, nature and all
Same here.
I wish they could get out of this grim and tragic situation and become the happy people of the ballad, La ballade des gens heureux, some day.
Our old Earth is a star,
where you too shine a little,
I've come to sing you the ballad,
The Ballad of happy People,
I've come to sing you the ballad,
The Ballad of happy People.
Like a choir in a cathedral,
Like a bird that does what it wants,
You've just sung the ballad,
The Ballad of happy People,
You've just sung the ballad,
The Ballad of happy People.
they find joy with every needle entering their blood stream
You sound very nice an all but if you ever went three days with no food or so it very hard to smell the roses. Bet they wish they were coming into your country 3 meals and a bed close to boot nice gig as they say. Conning people is easy you just need to overcome there intelligence but convincing people they have been conned you have to overcome their pride. Peace and love Peace and love AGAM
It ain't sad in the least bit. Try working in areas like this. They'll steal what is yours without thinking twice.
What politicians, who will help them then. They are there to earn money and be as comfortable and secure as possible in life.... They don't care about no one
What a nice City , this must be the so called “ American Dream “ .
Depending on where you live, resources can be very lacking, disjointed & hard to get to or attain
This city can fix a blown up bridge on a major interstate in 12 days. But when it comes to the tranq epidemic they can't do a thing. Scarry times we are living in.
Yes the city is corrupt but how about personal responsibility from the junkies. Many want to be taken care of with food and clothes but want to shoot dope. They don’t want to quit
Oh they can fix the city in less than 2 weeks but that wouldn't be good for their plans.
I am sure the city would appreciate you telling them a plan to solving the tranq epidemic. Then share your plan with the world. What a wonderful day when the tranq epidemic is solved.
There's an immeasurable difference between the application of civil engineering techniques and materials and trying to realign the diseased minds of people who made a conscious decision to become junkies.
If taxpayers' money was directed towards curing these weak minded lotus eaters from their self imposed living nightmare it is almost certain we'd see them back on ''skid-row'' wandering aimlessly through their own filth.
Well placed quality reinforced concrete should last for around 100 years.
The duration of the readjustment of the workings of a junkies addled mind would be only a fraction of the durability of concrete.
In a two cornered fight between junkies and concrete I'd run with concrete every time.
You can´t fix anybody who doesn´t want any fixing.
Its fucking insane that most if not all of these people chose this existence. Sad.
Initially they might have chosen, but when physically addicted or habituated to a drug, they have to get the drug every day. So medically, if you MRI an addicts brain, you could forcibly treat them with the evidence of physical defect to their decision making ability. Then (if a rich enough country), jail them and feed and clean them until their brain is healed , then give them a chance to choose drugs or not on their freedom.
This is so fascinating, that it will become a tourist attraction and people will travel there to go see the "zombies".
That's a new type of drug Substance abuse called "Xylazine" or (Tranq) ... which cause that zombie action situation
@@ScRaPeR2012 It's mind-blowing seeing these videos. Just been watching one about "Amber". The epitome of a killer drug.
Then those responsible have to react! Attention is good.
Many of them look like they’re on drugs but they don’t look like zombies 🙄
They NEED to do a "PAWN STARS: Kensington Ave Edition" Can you imagine the crazy shiz people would try to pawn? " I got an oven door and a dead cat... how much I can get?"
That chicken looked the healthiest one there.
Этих людей можно было спасти, но правительству важнее поддерживать войну на планете. Им наплевать на этих людей! Как и на всех остальных.
Citizens of America are victims of their own government.
думаю этих уже спасти не льзя наркота синтетическая это страшнее и сложно !!а про войну это точно можно просто порядок на улице навести !!!!!!!
The wrong people wonn ww2
какой смысл спасать если они им дают бесплатно наркотики
the illuminati would still be at the top whoever won ww2
The City an State Government should be put in jail for allowing this to continue going on and on year after year. Some shameful shit😢
I could not agree more .
It's a democreat shit hole , let the democrats have their utopia
How did you film this???
Around the world we now look at the USA as an example of how bad a Society can be. We see it as a warning and not as a country to be admired. The freedom to carry guns, the pursuit of money above all else and the election of Presidents who are both incompetent and immoral are some of the reasons for this moral decline. How sad this is. The USA used to be admired. The American Dream is now the American Nightmare and in the future it will be remembered for all the worst reasons.
Man this is like some end of the world horror movie, the US is hitting rock bottom, it blows my mind that I'm witnessing the great Empires of my life time rapidly going down the gurgler. How has this happened so fast
The huge issue watching this is that almost every addict has adopted a mindset of choice and no matter how hard you could try and help them it will always be in there will power to choose to take again. Coming from a previous substance user who has struggled and I still do now. It all takes individual will-power. You could take these people away from this live and offer them the world, but if THEY dont want to change nothing can help them. So where is the solution?
The homeless are not all drug addicts, right. So why cwnt the government help the homeless and the poor
@@Mike-Redding Just what is the government supposed to do..put them in mental hospitals?
You are correct..you cant force people to get help..people try to blame the government for societal ills..
These are the captives Jesus came to set free. HE IS THE SOLUTION

No one gonna mention the random chicken walking by?😂😂 like, where did it come from? Did it cross the road? 😂😂😂
Its not There any more
Maybe it is on turkey
It had to get to the other side.
Why did the Chicken cross the road?
To go shoot some heroin
The end
Good one
When there is no love, no family, no hope......i can understand why people would want and need to escape from the traumas and rejection that most of the people have probably experienced who are on these streets.....i guess at least they can find some kind of belonging with the people that are in the same boat....maybe they are the only family they have. I guess it's a fine line for all of us, if family has broken down, no income coming in, too many people in the world that need help but there are no resources........I truly don't know what the answer is or even if there is one. All i know is i am probably lucky that i live in England UK, we have lot's of support for drug addiction and little homelessness.....unless you choose to be on the streets, i guess that can be better than living in an overcrowded hostel or something like that. Looking at these peoples faces they are all someones sons and daughters, they never asked to be born and i bet most of them wish they had not been born. My only hope for them and a lot of other people in the world.....including myself is that the next life if there is one it will be peaceful and no suffering and pain, unlikely i guess but you never know. Good luck to you all. David.
As a Brit too, I totally concur with all that you said David. Nice comment.

@@trentryan27 you can't really blame someone with mental health disorder to not understand the point in treating their problem.
I still do not understand how they can choose this kind of life . Over a life where your clean can shower eat get off the streets away from this life. Seek your higher power ask for a better living.
It’s not a choice, they are addicted to a drug.

@@talex1625 Some get hocked on medicines provided by doctors, opioids are often used as pain killers.

These poor sad sad people need to be taken care of.
It's as if their invisible to society. Very sad as a country we can't do better.
I'm a Korean, I hope those people live a better life with courage somehow. It may not mean much to Americans, but as a Korean, it makes me sad that our allies, even if only some of their citizens, live this kind of life.
Пассивная борьба с перенаселением. Всем места для благополучной жизни в США не хватает потому легче довести человека "до края", можно, конечно поступать как у нас в Украине, но это не цивилизованый способ, в США точно не пройдет
its sad being neighbors to these people. It's a damn shame this exists in this beautiful country.
Better life is just a point of view. From the perspective of God/One nothing is Good or Wrong, everything is neutral,..everything is just the one
@monalisa3870 Oh really ?
@monalisa3870 but it seems like you already know what I mean with "better life", that is what it is.
This is an appalling situation for any country to be in, America should be ashamed it has reached these depths.

What is the music used in this video?
Seams like people who don't believe in judgment after death, are inclined to ignore suffering. Same thing in my town.
I don’t think that’s the case here. Its more about knowing the risks and stay away from such addiction. Don’t bring religion into this.

1:05 That 450k number is pure fantasy. Just in the last 2 years we have broken 100k deaths each of those 2 years and we're on track for another 100k + deaths in 2023. If you started counting in 99, it's WAY higher than 450k. Probably over a million.
Another blue city, be proud democrats as your failed system destroys America. Build the Wall, Close the Border.
The streets and the sidewalks are not being repaired .......
🤔...there are over 800 churches in Philadelphia, city of brotherly love, can they do more?
So grateful I let go and hit rock bottom. There is nothing like living everyday just to get high it’s absolutely miserable and I don’t wish it on anyone. But, if you can wake up and snap out of it there is nothing like being a successful person after you’ve recovered.
“We do recover”
Ok, but how do you become a successful person? Some of these people are here because they WERE hard working, driven etc. but the universe, luck, whatever you want to call it, wouldn't let anything work out for them. How do you succeed when all you know is failure, being singled out and now you have no idea what to do? Getting sober means nothing if you just get roadblocked by the universe right out of the gate.
@@fuzzypanda1684 I was one of those people. You preaching to the quire, I was simply saying this because in recovery that’s what you do is share lmao. Bro calm down and relax ffs
@@fuzzypanda1684 getting sober means nothing if you make it mean nothing. I have no family, I had to start from scratch. Seems like you just want a pissing match. I am not responsible for yours or their choices I am responsible however to spread a story of hope.
@@Sinkorswim317 I wasn't trying to have a pissing match, I was actually hoping you'd elaborate on HOW you went from rock bottom to being successful. We hear stories of people doing it, but rarely get any details on how they achieved it.
Every time I've tried, I've gotten nothing but road blocks, people trying to stop me, and overall garbage results no matter what I do, and once my motivation is destroyed, I fall back into the pit of despair.
What's up with just showing mainly women? 🤔 Kind of sus
this is real life horrror
That's there choice nobody asked them to be on drugs maybe they started when they were young
Thanks-you. Your videos are the very best on this subject.
Not everyone that is homeless is addicted to drugs or alcohol. Some are escaping abusive family & partners.
But most of them are or out of jail
What a shame ,from beauty queen to zombie queen"
They're all so young. Could you imagine being a parent of a disappeared child, seeing him/her here.
At least they are not wasting the day away on their cell phones

I thought I was watching The walking Dead. Took me a while to realize when I didn't see Coral
I think how back in the 80s my friends and I would go shopping along Frankford Ave. I remember last year getting a shuttle bus from Bridge and Pratt and this is where they dropped us off to get back on the El. Let me tell you, nothing really makes me uncomfortable or scares me. But being dropped off there, I was petrified.
I live on another continent - but for some reason ive been geting these videos recommended to me (also from other channels), and I watch them all with amazement.
Are these people so passive that they have no issue being filmed ? I often see the camera focusing on people and they just dont care. My limited experience with drug homelessless is that they are volatile, but they are rare in general here.
They don't want to be filmed; (this person is in the safety of his vehicle) but most of them are either too under the spell of these drugs or to busy chasing the drugs they aren't paying attention.
Skid row in Las Angeles is opposite. They DO NOT want anyone filming and bc their predominant substance choice is meth & crack they are hypervilgillant.
Edit; American streets are public property so anyone can film. I don't know what continent you live in but Thank God that no one you love has been inflicted with this horrific curse.
They are past that state, I am afraid. Now they only live for the next high, there is nothing else in their lives left.
@@Ascaron1337true , i cant say a word ...the end ..my brother and sister....
In America everything is surveillance now. Walking into any residence or business. It has become the norm to be recorded 😢 Great question.
@@Joy-Marie369 Yeah I understand in this case the person is in the car, but there are other channels that film in the exact location and they are walking. Same result tho, no one seems to care.
Even if you are allowed to film people in the streets, in my limited expierence drug users are volatile, I would expect them to freak out about being filmed

Why is it focused on women. Where are the men.
Women are more interesting to film on camera. Men are boring.

Can't you tell they don't want you filming them? All ya channels should stop and try helping a few of them instead of exploiting them.
Help them what? Shoot up? Those people are dangerous!
I thought that too, but these videos are helping to bring exposure to it.
There are so many that do help. Beautiful people reaching out and giving people better lives
🙏🙏GOD PLEASE HELP 🙏🙏ALL PEOPLEE GOD GIFT AND LIFE NEVER REPEAT SO BE HAPPY AND HEALTHY LIFE ENJOY.
Why is there such an epidemic of drug use in America ?
Whenever I'm sad I look at Kensington Ave,
then I know I'm doing really well,
I live in a city in eastern Germany in Saxony-Anhalt.
It's an old city, founded in 800 AD,
but we don't have the dirt of centuries on the streets
and people die in hospitals from their illnesses
at the age of 75 to 90 or in their beds at home from old age,
but not on the streets after drug use at 20 to 30 years.
DDR was a paradise
@@slavyanskybulvarNo, it wasn't, but there were such excesses as e.g. not in Philadelphia. And look at it, look closely, all that glitters is not gold, it is also a bit dirty from time to time, but you will look in vain for anything like in Kensington Street (Avenue). czcams.com/video/q6BwsAE2L8Q/video.html👍
I just came back from a trip to Munster and there were heroin junkies openly using on the street. Don't think this hasn't spread to Europe.
У людей такие возможности в этой стране.... А они так делают....
That’s because they’re spoiled. They don’t understand.
Понимаю в России, там можешь колоться наркотиками, можешь бухать, а можешь быть трезвым - нет разницы всё-равно перспектив нет никаких. Но в США!? Печально😢
ты когда был в сша то? все возможности уже позади ты посмотри на процентные ставки по кредитам они 20% и более о каких возможностях!все в сша живут в кредит!
@@user-jb3sl9vc2f Я сейчас там. Про ставки у тебя не правильная информация, 3,5 - 7% где-то
@@user-jb3sl9vc2f Россия ещё больше перекредитованая, средняя ставка по кредитам 30%. Есть даже МФО по 1% в день, т.е. 365% в год, и эти микрокредиты очень популярны в РФ.
Calling these people "unhoused" is as dishonest as calling them "unemployed"
?? what’s that supposed to mean
maybe instead of nonsensical vagueness, just say what you want to say. doesn't sound like it's gonna be cute either way
@@static_kitten I put in a long reply to @johny... and youtube deleted it.
But here's a short one. These people don't have housing problems, they have a problem with heroin. Many of the people in these videos have a room or apartment. But they are outside because they cannot act this way where they live. They also need to raise the funds to buy the heroin. If you gave every one of them that didn't already have one, a place to stay, nothing about this video would change. Furthermore, there is help available for them. Most don't want it. They haven't hit bottom yet.
So sad!
This is a serious documentary and I was astounded by the opening statistics.. But... the background music overpowers the documentary content and I switched it off because of that!
addiction is a choice you selfdome make
Well said.
That’s so sad. God have mercy.
These people are where they wanna be. I know this for sure. We as a sold called Sybil society enable them by helping them out food, money, free clothing all these things when all they really care about is getting high people are wasting their time and effort in helping them trust me.
Xylezine is a legal drug
Его разрешили те люди, вроде принца Чарльза и Ротшильдов, которые говорят, что население планеты растёт и нужно избавляться от лишнего. Поэтому внедряют в массы населения наркотики, большинство погибнет.
Says who?
and doesn't rot your flesh, that would be the introduction of pathogens through an open wound
@@moemcgovern7345 вы там вообще чем нибудь интересуетесь? Они и сказали, к примеру Бил Гейтс. В 1900 году на Земле население было 1 миллиард 600 миллионов, сейчас 8, за 100 лет 6 миллиардов, население растёт, чем кормить?
It’s an Animal tranquilliser NOT FOR HUMAN USE.
Just no tension and no worries .
That very sad
Every one of them was once a beautiful new born baby who meant the world to its parents. How Biden is getting away with turning the US into a giant dumpster fire is beyond me.
This area has been trash way before biden became president goofy
So none of of them was there doing Trump's period?
Mor*n!
This was going on during Trumps administration. Lame attempt at denialism.
Every big city in every country on earth has an area like this……
В России такого нет, есть отдельные случаи наркомании. У нас на улицах чисто и бомжей нет вообще.
No.
@@alexanderwolf8766 шо но, но говорят когда лошадь погоняют.
Живу в Магнитогорске такого дерьма даже в 90х не было....а сейчас темболее...город прекрасен парки дороги прелесть.
