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. I can't believe what our country has become during my lifetime. It's heartbreaking.
fake wall street money made everyone else poor.
I'm 63. My mother grew up in Kensington. Her sister raised my cousins in the same house. I used to take the El train and visit all the time. It was safe and clean back then. Everybody had a job and took care of their property. Democrats ruined Philly.
Yeah, at 64 you missed the Great Depression by a few years. This isn't new.
@@Kevin_40 -So no personal responsibility involved. Typical. Judging by your comment, the only people to blame are your parents for not using a condom when you were conceived.
@@888ssss Fake wall street money.. the golden calf of our generation.
And the band on the deck of the Titanic played on.
The masses don't believe the money is fake Juan.
As a 15-year-old in Amsterdam (mid 90'ties), I remember seeing junkies lying against each other, sleeping, like sardines in a can to keep each other warm, behind the central station in the cold and rain. I asked my elder brother, who was then 21 years old at the time (we were playing in a band together, and we were on our way to the music rehearsal place), why do people live like this? Because it made a huge impression on me.
Then my brother answered non-judgemental: heroin. And then he explained to me about hard drugs and told me that even the strongest of men can not fight, or hold off, the addictiveness of these substances. He said the biggest mistake you can make is thinking it will not happen to you. So if you want to end up like this, he said cynically, you know what to do...
So I never did hard drugs. This stuff was a red line for me, and believe me, I did enough partying... But it always intrigued me that being aware of the consequences, someone would put the first needle in his arm. Years later, I had a conversation with an ex-heroin addict, and I asked him about the first needle. He had a surprising answer: the moment you put the first needle into your arm is a conscious choice for this type of life. He said that most of the addicts regret it afterwards, but the choice of starting heroin is mostly made with the full knowledge of the risks.
My conclusion is that most addicts had too much pride that first moment, thinking they could resist the demon of addiction. Then I had to think back to the valuable advice my brother gave to me years before: that even the strongest of men can not fight, or hold off, the addictiveness of these substances. In other words, he told me to have an attitude of humility and watch out for pride.
I pray for these poor souls, and I hope they find peace at some point in their life. Don't forget: these are someone's loved ones, children, mothers and fathers.
Great comment, thank you
Very true. I saw a statistic once that showed relapse in nicotine greater than cocaine. I feel also for the addict, just believing that the substance is stronger than your will keeps you it’s thrall. I personally have dabbled in crystal. Now I’m free, and I believe not for nothing. I always believed I can overcome it. One has to be stronger than the problem. Drugs are beasts that cannot be tamed, and should be starved. I recommend reading Gabor Maté, and seeing how addiction is far broader than the drugs, and developmental trauma is a key culprit. Drugs are strong, but emotional factors play a decisive role.
So very well said! Hope this comment gets pinned, deserves it!
De zeedijk ziet er tegenwoordig iets frisser uit, dan de jaren 80..nu hebben de grote steden wat andere probleempjes.. het paradijs komt nooit terug..maar grote kern van waarheid in je verhaal.. heb toen ik daar jaren gewerkt had ook wel eens gevraagd.. over het hoe en wat.. drank, dope, over de straat zwerven.. en inderdaad ( heel vreemd ) velen hebben er voor gekozen.. geen zin in werk.. geen zin in een huis te wonen.. geen zin in een relatie..of overal maling aan hebben..
Your brother certainly gave you a valuable lesson when it was really needed.
Poverty, devastation, drug addiction, dirt everywhere, homeless people, and this is in the world-famous America? It's just awful!!!🤢🤮
I was homeless at one point. But These people have no drive or motivation to change, and will die like that no matter how much help they get. You need to change your mindset, and nobody can do that but you.
It's all about who you surround yourself with. I have been fortunate to be born into a wealthy family and have never had to struggle for money, but let me tell you from the bottom of my heart that I could have gone down a terrible path if i had chosen to remain with certain "friends" in my life. Their choices, habits, interests could have destroyed every bit of goodness, aspirations and moral character inside me. I was again fortunate enough to read some books, listen to podcasts and also consulted a psychologist to identify where I was going wrong, even though I am agnostic, my parents being religious helped me find an alternative lifestyle, one which is clean, highly spiritual, filled with productive habits and gratitude. This has helped me become a better person both personally and professionally and I have changed my life around. Now I choose who to spend and surround myself with, and it has made all the difference.
你说的对
@@MikeG-bw6db yea I clearly had a lot more motivation. I wasn’t that type of homeless person. I stayed to myself, then I went back to school, now I make a lot of money.
@@MikeG-bw6db I actually went to jail, (which they refuse to arrest people now) while in jail i detoxed. Got out 10 months later got a job for $9 per hour (which they all refuse to do) stayed there for 5 years, left at $18 to get a better job at $14 with employer payed schooling. When to school for 3 hours, 3 days a week for 4 years, after working all day( which they refuse to do). Now I own a house, I just bought another building lot, and a brand new truck. It takes self respect and motivation to leave that life style. This is why the prison system is important, when they refuse to take them out of that, they have no reason to want to change.
@@maximumpotential3796 I'm an ordinary person. I am 52 years old. Of these, I've been using heroin, marijuana, and methadone for 15 years. I haven 't used it for 15 years and I don 't want to ! By the way, I'm having a lot of difficulties in my life right now. but drugs don't pull me.I forgot what it is! so it depends on each individual
Lost a beautiful family member to addiction, mental health was so bad, my daughter and I managed to get him clean for a year, I was the happiest Auntie in the world as he was a kind and loving nephew. He left my home to go look for work , I hugged him so tight and told him to stay in touch, we talked everyday on the phone but I knew he was back on drugs and drink. He died on his own. I can’t grieve him at all. I keep believing he’s still with me. So many of these addicts have mental health problems . We did everything we could, taking him to doctors and mental health workers. I visit his grave , take flowers 🌺 and angel ornaments , but I walk away thinking he’s still somewhere near. I know I’m only protecting my heart, but that’s how I cope. I don’t mind if people find that funny, but I battle everyday when I play the videos he sent me and listening to his voice and how he says my name. No one knows when this might happen to one of there own. God help them all. 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Trust ye in the LORD.
It's makes me ar little sad ... your story ... looking for hope ..and yet still holding on to it .... your hurting yourself ......that to is like a drug in its own way........ holding on or letting go is either for good or bad......it's best to expect things and be at peace with God ...what ever we conceive him to be ...
God bless prayers and happiness for ♥️

They use to numb emotional pain. The drug is not what cause the addiction. The mental pain does. This is why this is getting worse because we are not dealing with the cause of addiction and live in some fantasy land we can get rid of all the drugs and no one ever use drugs. Well looked how that turn out for those who abuse opiate pills. They got cut off and went to stronger worse drugs and seniors and disabled people are dying from chronic pain. Chronic pain does cause and can shorten someone life by 40% due to the stress it places on the body. Now days you are chronic pain patient and they treat you like you just got out of jail. Some of these doctors want drug test every month that cost thousands of dollars. Some places have you sign a contract that say you must show up at the office within 2 hour from when they call you to get your pills counted. If you are off a few pills they cut you off with no taper butting Some people who have multiple condition elderly in very dangerous withdrawals. Then you have family member who want to help by self medicating and think they are buying prescription drugs from the street and they are really fentanyl. It is not helping patient or addicts, but a lot of money are making tons of money off this by blaming everyone but who decided to use 10 pills instead of what the prescription said. Why is that a doctor fault or a drug company. Ps Oxcontin stated they were less addictive because it was a long acting medication. I doubt they though prescribe patient would take off the coating off, smash the pill, cook it in water and inject it. While people do this to cover emotion and mental pain, they choose to go this route instead of asking for help because denial of the problem is also part of this especially in the beginning. Everyone get high once in while excuse. Well not everyone does.

This needs to be shown in schools so kids can understand what the outcomes can be of doing drugs
Take a closer look. Do you think schools can protect from such a thing or on the street will even become less than a gram of substances? Why for all the previous decades this did not work the only thing that this city will save is the entry of troops and an increase in the number of police officers. But instead of real actions, the authorities prefer to carry nonsense about rehabilitation while drug lords continue to earn billions.
this is caused by poverty and inequality not bad choices
@@toi_techno Well if it's poverty how come they can afford to buy drugs in the first place!
@@Mechtec500Because they can’t afford anything else. Minimum income, eternal debts, sale of property, theft, prostitution, money from the state. There are many options that there is always money for another dose in your pocket. And they have no other choice but to spend this money on a new dose, because they have long been not independent citizens, but simply slaves of cartels, which the state does not care.
@@toi_techno I've known people who are well off in life and did drugs. Life is not just about poverty and inequality. Yes this may affect too,you could have millions and get poor due to bad choices. It could also be environment, peer pressure, psychological issues, trauma, family as well as curiosity.
This should be required viewing for every high school in the country.
Me assusta o número grande de mulheres nesses vídeos e jovens. Muito triste viver essa rotina por dias, semanas e anos. A maioria não sabe mais o que é viver sem drogas e quanto é bom viver com sobriedade.Imagina um pai ou mãe ver seu filho nessa situação deplorável.

There is a point that even their mothers have given up hope and have walked away. Drugs are a powerful force. These were at sometime for most some ones cherished babies. Unless you can actually lock them up and force treatment and job training it will be like this. They have lost all cognitive ability to pull themselves out of the gutter. The politicians refuse to give real help.

Informational, professional and with respect. Nice job making this video, you did great.
Truly the best and compassionate thing to do is pick up everyone of them against their will and confine them into a guarded community where no access to drugs is available for a few years providing the assistance they need to become whole again. They are no longer able to act in their own best interest.

She looks so beautiful
She looks so cute
Such confronting images.. I feel for those on the streets. Many lost souls… thank you for being kind and depicting them with some form of respect..
Imagine having someone reaching out to the girl at 7:17, asking her why she is crying, what her problem is and see if she is willing to change her life for the better. Seeing this 2 years later and thinking if she is okay now.
She and her boyfriend are on a drug induced state for long periods frequently. She begins getting loud with others about some argument they had and he blows up at some point against her and she uses others to gain advantage such that he leaves. She didn't care about the argument and neither did he.
The problem is they both are hooked on drugs and thus any behavior of stupidity is possible. You are asking what might make a difference lasting over two years. I'd say "Christ Jesus entering either of their hearts and replacing the heart of stone with a heart of flesh" the other would be an intervention which might wipe the animal clean so that next time more demons can inhabit them.

I do not believe that a country that spends billions sending weapons to Ukraine cannot fix or try to do something about it. It totally blows my mind and I ask myself a question. Do they really care about people? Observing these things I think it's obvious not. A greeting and much encouragement to all those people, who come out of everything, except death.
Американское правительство накачивает оружием Украину, прекрасно понимая, что она не победит Россию, желая войны до последнего украинца. Точно так же сегодняшнему правительству США не нужны и собственные граждане, за умы которых им надо бороться. Им нужно минимум 70 процентов различных "меньшинств", голосующих за демократов.
Причому тут зброя.Це комусь вигідно.
The money for Ukraine flows back into the hands of the rich US elite in the form of arms deliveries, commodity trading, and securing future sales markets in Ukraine. Money against poverty and drugs not.
These people are used as a warning sign, WORK & PAY TAXES or else...
They seem quite docile and content. Those interviewed don’t seem to fear much. I’m not sure this can be changed.
At 76 I have seen my country slide downhill. I saw San Francisco go from a splendid city to a rat hole. Eventually, I left California - my family, by the way, pioneered California.
Rollo may wrote in his book, Love and Will: "The human being cannot live in a condition of emptiness for very long: if he is not growing toward something, he does not merely stagnate; the pent-up potentialities turn into morbidity and despair, and eventually into destructive activities."
San Francisco was glorious until about 1985 - before the wealthy tech vermin and the homeless mentally ill drug filth took over.
I agree. 30 years ago California was the place to be. It would be today if not for liberalism.
@@Random-es7yo people are leaving liberal states at the highest rate ever in history. You have no clue what you are talking about lol
Say thanks to capitalists, for whom money is main value, but people are just resources.
"The feeling of emptiness or vacuum ... is usually generated by the feeling that you are powerless to change anything in your life or in the world around you. An internal vacuum is the end result of a person's gradually growing conviction that he, as a person, cannot direct his life ... cannot change the attitude of other people towards him or in any way affect the world around him. As a result, he sinks into deep despair, characteristic of so many of our contemporaries. And since his desires and feelings do not matter then he renounces desire and feelings"
Muito triste ver o resultado tudo isso
É muito triste 😥
No estés triste, recibimos lo que merecemos. Aléjate de Dios y siente las consecuencias.
The litter is inexcusable.
seeing that young woman in black coat on floor crying was pretty heartbreaking, this is sad, hope they can recover and get healthy. 7:12
I wonder what happened...
My country is not perfect. But when it's drugs, addicts get arrested and carted off to drug rehabilitation centres where they remain for 18 months. Drug traffickers get the death penalty. So what we don't have is a drug fuelled homeless epidemic that fills our streets.
What country are you writing about? Obviously not about the one in the video. That's what the democrats have done to аmerica and the general immorality and low morale of its population
My apologies sir, I'm from Malaysia. Together with Singapore and Indonesia, drug traffickers gets the death penalty. That's the law here. I understand and accept that human rights activists are not too thrilled with this, but the rights of the citizens and our children supersedes the rights of drug traffickers and cartels. Best regards.
@@envitech02 Wish they did that here, the liberals would rather have this crap roaming the street than cleaning it up the way your country does.
@@Laredo215 yep, they'd rather legalize it and tax it. I think drug dealers should get an automatic life sentence. If that means death, life in prison, or public hangings. I also think anyone selling drugs to kids should get an especially harsh penalty. We can't have cruel and unusual punishment here but I could think of a few things.
I would support these measures in my country as well (Germany).
This hurts my soul . The void is real , and it has carried them away . I pray they can leave the darkness and find the light again .

As an almost 75 yrs old man, who seen a lot of the world, good and bad, but seen this behavior in just one place. In the 19 sixties I was assigned to a hospital in the Hungarian capital. Not to the mentally disturbed, but as a young therapist, hungry to learn and see it all, I asked to have access to the locked down ward.Long story short, pictures coming back as I watch those persons aimlessly walking up and down, totally forgot that they are humans. And don’t get me wrong, but those mentally disturbed persons had more common sense in that ward than this healthy and young persons living in one of the leading country of the world. And it is not their fault. Society is coming in mind as a partner in crime. The solution would be, lock them down with the necessary medical help, but first lock down all the dealers, whom are as much guilty as the city or state officials as the users of the drugs. Solution? Can’t see any in the future, but one. Radical or not, gather them in one place, kill all the providers of the drugs, and sorry to say, the same care for the users to. They are not just simple lost souls but hopeless as humans.

Spent 5 years in West Philly in the 80’s while attending college. It was bad even back then.
I was working in Philadelphia in December 2021. I have had multiple family members lose there fight against the drug epidemic, but I have never seen anything as bad as sad as this. I went through here and never knew that this area even existed. I cried so much that day. I wish that I could do something to help all these loving soles. I pray that they get out of this terrible whirlwind before it is to late.
fake videos
it's already late
Your teachers lost the fight to teach you to spell their.
I heard there was an opioid epidemic, I didn't know it was this bad.
@@DrSchor I am so sorry that the most important thing about this entire post and replies are that a word is misspelled and not people losing their lives.
The first young lady with the curly red hair is absolutely stunning. Addiction rips apart your soul and leaves you just a shell of a person. 💔🙏🏽
That's a dude in a wig.
@@HighwayRamos Not sure if that's a dude or chick, but yeah the hair is definitely fake.
@@alendryaldimera It's a dude.
Pretty sure that beautiful lady was male, transgender, hands, facial features, legs look masculine. small hips. yadda yadda. Yes very pretty. very high too. her eyes. the nod. I see a million miles away. too familiar
That's not a "young lady" tho.. look again. Straight up MAN.
It's just like that on a street in Vancouver called East Hastings St - but rather than an out of the way area it's a major downtown street! It's right beside Chinatown.
Oh, what would Bruce Springsteen sing now.
I'm going to share my story it will make some people angry but I don't care. I work at Glenwood and Kensington avenues in Philadelphia. I have seen it all. I remember a girl named Brandi who was a street walker. She told me she did tricks to feed her daughter but she said tricking messes up your mind so you turn to drugs to shut out the pain and hurt you feel. Then instead of tricking to feed her daughter she tricked to feed her drug habit. About 18 months ago I stopped seeing Brandi around come to find out she od by chasing the dragon. Her daughter was 8 years old at the time of her death. Brandi is just one of the many women that are out there in the Kensington Ave area of Philadelphia. There is no fix coming the police are powerless to stop the drug dealers are making a fortune and the district attorney has basically stopped trying to enforce any type of law. And the sad part is none of these people want help. There was a woman named Liz that I tried to get help and she told me that rehab doesn't pay the bills in which I replied if all your money is going to the drug dealers then how are you paying any bills. I got no answer. Haven't seen her in over a year. There was another woman we called smiley she died of an overdose in an alley. I tell people all the time the only thing that changes in Kensington is the faces.
Rest easy Brandi
For the year 2020, the City of Philadelphia publicly reported there were 1,214 drug overdose deaths in Philadelphia alone, roughly 3.33 deaths per day. That's each and every day. That doesn't include the deaths from all other causes, including hypothermia, that's a horrible waste of life. Most all of the overdose deaths are because of drug dealer's poor chemistry skills, there's a huge difference between a microgram and a milligram.
So sad, and they keep coming.
thankyou for shareing these storys , its very sad
Krasner is a cancer on philly. Somehow he's making this hellhole worse by the day. Might be on the level of Baltimore and st louis's shittiness now
There was a movie released in late 80's called No Way Out. There is no way out if you wake up every morning living there and not leaving. The only way to get out is to not leave but to get away from the people you are used to catching a fix from.
Their so called "friends" are not really friends. They never had any friends in their lives only people who led them down the wrong path. Most of the times this starts with so called "friends."
You know there is no way out for these people if you get them a place to live they could not look after it it might help if they get off the streets
When I was in high school in Chesapeake Virginia my one teacher had her niece move in with her because she was living in Kensington with her mom and she refused to move. It’s crazy the love people have for the city.
@@nicholasjolt6200 Yep how many people do you think shoot those drugs in there arm the first time all buy themselves. It is usually some so called friend or boyfriend whom does it. Some friend. I real friend would say no way.
@@mauderyder9997 Do you know these people are shooting up $300.00 of drugs a day. If they can afford the drug they can afford a place to stay. It is called choices. Even buying them a sandwich means they have more money tomspend drugs and that is enabling them to death. Other then getting these people to treatment, helping is sending them to their grave. I know that sound horrible, but they have to get to there bottom and for some that maybe death no matter how many they go to treatment. The only thing they should be offered is treatment.
We all need to pray for them
I lived there, I worked there in an outdoor lawn ornament factory with no heat, I was just about the only one there without a record, stood in line at the end of the week while our boss doled out money to pay us. Smoke breaks were to check that my car was still there, and in one day driving home I got hit up 5 different times by dealers wanting to sell me dope. Yeah this is North Philly.
Heartbreaking stuff. I’m sure once upon a time all these people had hopes and dreams and it didn’t include becoming soulless zombies on Kensington Ave.
Amazing to think how much pride the rest of America has in its military, while scouring the world telling everyone else how to live and then bombing them into that way of life if required. Talk about pot and kettle.
Heartbreaking no less and extremely sad. Prayers for hope from somewhere.
We are all responsible for our own lives. So are they.
@@miker9082 I totally agree with you however I still see the human side where a bad decision is made and the penalty is paid for the rest of their lives. I also feel desperate for the families of these addicts. Never knowing where or how their loved ones are.
@@anthonystewart677 Poor little tony, you'll be mad the rest of your life.......You speak like a muslim zealot ! If you live in America......you SHOULDN'T !!!
Всюду принципы невмешательства. Живет человек -хорошо, умер - ещё лучше, место освободилось. Печаль да и только…
Не нашлось достойного офицера КГБ среди охранников Горбачева - с исправным заряженным пистолетом, твердой рукой и метким глазом.
Да, уж..., если бы, только, невмешательства...
Ты умри сегодня, а я завтра. Система такая.
Sad,just sad...
The only way to tell the video is new is reading the date, everything stays the same & the police do nothing.
I heard the police just shoot innocent people. Would be safer with less.
Police is paid by narco mafia, i guess
Tbh I could say the same about a lot of peoples lives …. We just repeat repeat repeat don’t we. No real difference between us
I’m Belgian and such situations are growing in Belgium too. Charleroi, Bruxelles, Liege and Verviers have become ugly drug-holes. It’s horrible..
I've seen it, couldn't believe my eyes. Since middle class mostly dissapeared people got desperate because they don't have much chances in life, this brings drugs.. There is scientific proof addicts have much, much higher chance of recovering or at least live normal life on substitution if they are given better life conditions.
US is far from it with wars they are starting, especially now since US almost had civil war, started proxy war, it is starting doing things in Iran and so on. They are done if something doesn't change very fast.
so sad ....
1:12 - my mom had exacly that stare on her final moments dying of cancer. This brought me such haunting and painful memories. People are literally killing themselves. No other animal do this.
My God, this is so sad and disturbing. I feel so sorry for these people!
,easy to say you feel sorry while in comfort of your room.
@@Soul_Flow_ Don't worry, I also feel sad for you!
Sorry but i dont. They destroyed themselves and in return are destroying society. Look at the mess they made of that place, any hard working people trying to run a business or live in that area had to move or close down. These people are not homeless because of losing their job due to outsourcing. They are homeless due to their drug addiction.
Feel sorry for the business owners who have close down in this area.
@@Soul_Flow_ I love my room.
Whenever I feel down and complain about how bad things are, I watch one of your films and quickly realise how good things are for me personally.
Its great how someone else's misery can make you feel good about yourself...
@@deansofic914 Yes great
@@deansofic914 it's not that someone's misery make you feel good, it's that you get to see other peoples reality and to know that life can always get tougher or worse.
@@deansofic914 haha He didn't mean it that way, he meant no matter how bad you think you have things, there's always people more worse off than you! I grew up with a severe lung disability but i could still walk about and get myself from A to B! I hate seeing young people with their whole life in front of them and healthy bodies, smoking cigarettes and damaging their healthy lungs! What i'd give to restart my life with healthy lungs, when i was 30 my lungs were tested and i was told i had the lungs of a 73 year old man! Today at 55, i get out of breath tying a bin bag and i've never smoked 1 cigarette in my life!
@@pchoy7854Очень хорошо вы написали. Я вас поддерживаю. 😞
The blonde in the black coat reminded me so much of a scene in the movie “Midnight Cowboy” with Jon Voight. In the movie, he is from Texas and is shocked when arriving in New York and sees a woman running back and forth aimlessly while high. Just like the girl in this video…identical.
In 2016 things started improving fast, 2 years ago everything went off a cliff especially in Pa,Ca,Ny,Illinois, Oregon, Washington wonder why? Man that 1st girl was gorgeous! What a pity!
This made me cry. So much pain and misery. I am french and lost a friend years ago he felt in heroine. This is pure sadness. What have we done to let our people fall like this ? Because they could be your daughter, your uncle, your mom, your brother, your son. They actually are for someone. How to clean this mess up ? Hard of soft manner but it has to be done and it is urgent.
Consecuence of consumerism and capitalism
ummmm, its fake. actors
Welcome to capitalism
@The Richest Man In Babylon pas ok avec vous vous avais des gens sensible et très influençable et en plus le gouvernement ne les aide pas a les remettre sur le bon chemin de la vie joyeuses ses un point de vue personnel 🙄
As if addicts didn't exist in communist countries back then
Billions and billions and billions spent for the military and this is what happens in history every time. Washington is sickening.
Imagine that’s your daughter out there strung out like a YoYo. ….
The sad story of lawlessness is shown in the people who once had shops and services in that area. Now all of those businesses are barricaded up to protect the occupants and buildings from being totally destroyed. This is when there is no real effort being taken to stop the flood of drugs being handed out everywhere.
My heart breaks for the crying lady who is so angry....Save her Lord by the power of your Holy Spirit....
She’s young and cute now. Sadly not for long if she doesn’t get off the streets quickly. I’m horrified thinking what she might be doing to cop every day. Absolutely heartbreaking 💔
The Lord : "No Sir ......I've got enough on my plate for the next whole year"...... "I might be "a Lord" , but I've got my limits too".....
👍🏻🎅🏻
Just like an episode of The Living Dead...Lord I'm greatful I never got hooked on drugs nor any of my family members.
I am Polish and I am horrified by what happened to the USA. Nightmare. Dirt, stench and poverty. For me personally, it is very sad, because as a student I dreamed of going to America, which was for me an unrivaled symbol of democracy, freedom and wealth. In Poland, we do not have black people, we do not have thieves, hooligans, homeless people, drug addicts, beggars, and above all, our cities and villages are well-kept, clean, there is practically no garbage anywhere, and the streets are safe.
What's the lady at 14:13 doing with a table?
I'd argue that what we are seeing are the consequences of closing asylums decades ago. Couple that with cheap synthetic drugs and the abandonment of fair law and order, you get this. A heartbreaking mess of a social net long forgotten.
7:17 Me conmueve esa chica de no mas de veinte años llorando, desamparada. Que sufrimiento tendrán sus padres....
Si verdad jovencita y hasta bonita que pecado poresita 😟
So sad…😢😢
Would have been a much better video if your audio levels could be heard!
I would be afraid to walk there.
You don't see SBC on a walk there. Maybe on a run 🏃♀️ 🏃♂️
Checks out
All in my prayers! God bless!
This is so sad….
One more thing I would like to add, no one can just come in and " fix " this problem.
The only one who can change that is the addict themselves. My opinion ?
Have designated areas set up for them and let them use, provide good hygeine like new needles, medical treatment, and a clean environment for them, because the more you try and control them and stop it, the worse the problem will become. Being a onetime addict myself I know that it took what it took, for me to make the change. This is ofcoarse only my humble opinion.
Свобода, она только внутри, каждый монах в строгих условиях монастыря более свободен , а это не свобода это распущеность, я рад что моё правительство поменяло курс !
I like your comment
Какие красивые девушки пропадают...помогите им жалко...спаси их Боже🙏🙏🙏i love peoples..God you love brothers and sisters🙏🙏🙏
Посмотри, это Филадельфия и там вроде простор для употребления наркотиков. Это не фейк . Но это постановочное видео. Здесь роль наркоманов играют артисты. Якобы-документально художественный фильм. Вот такими постановочными фильмами напичкан Ютуб и про жертвы в Украине . А вот это фейки. Всё это делают что-бы получить у россиян и союзных к нам стран чувство испанского стыда и вины, за то что поверили этим артистам. Вот эти вс новости "Новое время" "Настоящее время" "Вот так" и так далее.
Так возьми себе спидом разживаешься .
The people distributing these drugs need to be dealt with....The people buying and using these drugs..... one way out quit walk away.....
Saya sangat sedih melihatnya. Smoga kalian dpt bangkit kembali dari ujian yg melanda. Tetap smngt dan sllu berharap smoga esok dunia cerah kembali
My girlfriend's daughter died in a Philadelphia hospital, from a massive internal, infection, that she let go to long, because of her addiction. Her daughter and her husband, are both heroin addicts, and we watched them get continually worse, of a period of 15 years. Two of their their children, are now living with a foster family, while their son who is autistic, is living with my girlfriend. The father is currently in treatment, and is doing well. More needs to done, to help these addicts to get get of the streets, and into treatment, so they can become useful members of society again.
Dude, wake up. I've known quite a few addicts over my life. These people have gotten addicted to the most addictive of substances....chances are about 90 % that they will never be useful members of society ever again. They might recover for a little while, but in the end, in every case I know of, they relapsed. The thing is, everyone I've ever known who became an addict came from well-off, suburban families with dual income parents, good homes, etc. So I have no patience for these people anymore. They were given advantages from birth and THEY chose to squander it, so fuck them. Get off of my tax dime.
2021, it's so unreal I can't believe what I'm seeing. There are no such places in my country (Poland).
I thought those types of neighborhoods exist only in movies.
This is what you get when you spend 80% of government revenue on the military?
Dokładnie. W innych filmach pisałem dokładnie jak Ty . To jest Ameryka ... ale syfiasta . Pzdr. z 3 City.
We keep talking how bad is it in Poland but then i see a video like this and it slaps
@@kalmar2335 - We do not so much talk as always complain about something. But Poles already have complaints in their genes, no matter how well they are. Today, everyone drives a car, everyone has a job, does not go hungry, they have nowhere to live, and most of the apartments are private and they always feel bad.
@@TAD3011 that's exactly how it works. If you are critical of things, then they do change for the better. But, if you just let things be, then they never improve. Funny how that works, doesn't it. We dutchies are just the same, complaining about even the weather when in reality we're so privileged.
Sad.
