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 was the straight shooting, head together, carrier ambitious and well raised single male with all the potential and skill nessesary to be comfortable the rest of my life. I took a wrong turn in the fork in the road resulting in my being a part of this documentary. My mindset at the time was that I could handle this and carry-on. I was so wrong. Heavy drug use proved that my cockyness was destroying my life, hence I was a part of this world for 5 years. I consider myself very lucky and fortunate to have reached light at the end of this dark period in my life and I have so much to be greatful for today. I've rebuilt my life without heavy drugs that enslaved me 12 years ago. God blessed me, no question about it. I was very green going into this lifestyle and many addicts took advantage of me because of this. It was a wakeup call. Admittingly, due to the fact that I was raised by a very loving and compassionate single Mother, it finally clicked with me, I had a choice to escape this lifestyle. I knew deep down, continue and die or reform and live. Here I am 12 years later posting this testimony and life is good. I want to thank all the Mom's and Dad's that raised their children well despite the rejection of their children which I am guilty of. Thank you Mother, your upbringing saved my life!

Xoxo 💋 is my time
So proud of you 👏 🥰
God bless 🙌 🙏 ❤️
Thank you so much Amanda Owen's! Your comment made my day. God bless you ! It's funny, I can spill the truth of my experience to those on social media yet keep my immediate family in the dark as to my testimonial in this depth. Your the first one to comment in a proactive way regarding my past experience. You are indeed special.
Thank you for spreading awareness you showed the literal block I used to cop on. Praying for all those sick and suffering 🙏💕
I wish there was something decisive outsiders could do for these folks, but my experience shows me that is nearly impossible. Getting robbed, being stolen from, having your life turned upside down and that's just because you're trying to help. But for all you keyboard warriors who think I'm being dismissive, I invite you to visit Kensington Avenue and ask someone there into your home for some R&R and to "clean up'. You know, put your life where your keyboard is. Or shut up. Your choice.
@@caribman10 What are you talking about? Are you saying there is nothing you can do? Then walk away, but don't act like there is nothing that can be done. There are plenty of people that are helping. I mean just because you failed doesn't mean anything. And why are you saying this to someone who was able to step away from this? That is strange to me.
Thank you for taking time to do this.
It's informational and well presented.
This is definitely some creepy, stalking shit, bro. You're tailing a lot of these women for an absurd amount of time trying to get their face. What exactly does tailing a bunch of women and trying to show their face do for this "documentary" that you lazily play the same exact voiceover and music for with new creepy footage each time?
Because I have seen mostly young white women on the streets. It must be a male chivalry thing to feel bad for them. I find this vid hightly eye opening and informative.
Thank you for saying that. I noticed this last year and he's still stalking people. Imagine being a young vulnerable female addict and having some creep pull up on you, put their car in reverse, and begin recording you with a mounted camera inside. This is predatory, exploitative, and Ted Bundy-like behavior.
@@aceboogisback9946 Glad others are seeing is as I see it!
Another Great Video!! SBC News has the best channel in documenting Streets of Philadelphia, Kensington ave!! There's no other like it!! Just keeping it 💯..
Exactly. SBC News posts fantastic videos. They are all very dramatic and striking.
females are not the only people homeless. Your videos are stalkerish because your only following women, mostly in super tight clothing.
You shouldnt allow your personal bias or preferences show in your work. It's creepy.
agree. noticed that too.
And same exact message with each vid…. This is def sus!
@Patrick Lary It's very noticeable in all his videos and what's more interesting is he has a preference for the white females! and Creepy is at an all time high cause sometimes he follows them as well as puts his car in reverse to keep filming. Like what does following them around has anything to do with the overall addictions that are going on in that part of the city!
@@dre20748 exactly.
Yes let’s get back to the stereotypes we all know so well, black men. Young white women hits a bit to near home for you?
I like your information it's pretty spot on .good job
Такое в России даже в страшном сне невозможно представить.

So Happy SBC News has continued creating these videos. I do miss the music from the videos before your short sabbatical. After listening to the opening song many, many times, it kind of brainwashed me LOL. I love that song, and wish you would sprinkle it in in your future videos. Thanks so much
Beautiful piece of music, what is it?
These are fake, so many young leggy blondes? Have you been to Philly? They are not here.
Hi from Australia. You’re doing an awesome job raising awareness. Keep up the good work.👍
Anyone who is forced to live around the crime, noise and filth of homeless encampments is well “aware” of this problem!
hi Australian
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SHARING US🌎🚀☃️
This has been helpful.I ended up somehow over on that side of the city, but didn't venture around much. Now I know why things haven't changed much.
Nice update of whats happening in Kensington Ave Philadelphia. So.sad to.see the those people high on drugs. Tnx4sharing 👍🏻
I was once homeless for a couple of years. The reason was because I got involved in a domestic dispute (ex gf flat out lied and said I abused her, basically). I ended up being homeless because I was in jail for a few months and lost my apartment (couldn't work for the rent money, obviously).
As a consequence of feeling resentful about my circumstances, having to sleep rough, finding it hard to get a decent job to the criminal record, and just generally feeling so wronged and not having anyone to help or even talk to, I fell into a drug problem. It definitely made it harder to get my life sorted out and get off the streets. And the addiction is extremely difficult also because drugs have basically FLOODED American streets. They're everywhere, so you're bound to have them offered because all the other street people are on them. So the temptation to just say "screw it, why not" and give into the peer pressure is also extremely high because you're depressed and in such a stressful situation.
My point is that a lot of people end up homeless and on drugs for reasons not necessarily within their control. Loneliness and hopelessness play big factors in deciding to use, also. I finally got myself together, but man. It truly is an unbelievably depressing and seemingly impossible situation to be in. The legal system is out of control and literally creates many homeless.
Nobody ever stops to ask or care how you will be able to keep a place to live when spending countless thousands and months of your life dealing with BS legal charges. It's basically impossible to not end up on the streets in that situation. And many women don't seem to understand that when they call the cops just to win an argument.
Hope you're doing better now.
Can I ask was it an Indian (asian) woman who did this to you? They do this a lot here in the U.K. for their visa falsely accuse the man of domestic violence and then get their passports a local government home too, plus state benefits. While the man loses everything. Sickening game being played but the authorities believe the woman.
@@demonwaterdemonwater4993 it's a long story but thanks for your advice Kid
I'm deeply sory for what happened to you and to those in the pictures. I wish rich people with billions of dollars donate to find shilters and save these young people stuck in the drugs and loss.
And where is the church!!! They are roaming the whole world spending hundreds of millions of dollars claiming that they are obligated to save the others from hill. Why won't they save their own people.
The massenger of Allah Muhammad said: the best of you are the best for their famelies (or people)
I'm sory that I've got no money or effort to give or offer but I,ve got my islam: Allah is one has no son.
The way to thd truth is not easy. There is no heaven on this earth or in this life.
Only continuous tests rangs from easy to hard.
Heaven exists truely but only in the other life.
Allah is one has no son.
With my greetings . A muslem fom Jordan.
This reminds me of a saying...
If you're not willing to learn, no one can help you.
If you are determined to learn, no one can stop you.
I wish you nothing but good things in life my friend.
This could be the only way people might find a family member or friend so good job keep up your great work ❤️💯🇮🇪
Миллиарды долларов на войну, а собственные граждане в наркотическом угаре и без будущего. Страшная реальность.
Да ладно. Кто бы говорил. А РФ миллиарды наверно тратит на улучшение жизни бедных и пенсионеров? Или всё-таки миллиарды уходят на яхты и заграничные виллы приближённых олигархов?

@@zima8251 ага) наверно очередной "патриот", который сидит в этих страшных загнивающих странах НАТО) В РФ походу нет пьянства, нет нариков, нет бомжей) Всё "процветает" и "благоухает". Очередной "прорыв" за "рывком".))) Особенно "процветают" регионы, из которых тянут нефть, газ, уголь, алмазы, уран, золото. Там самое "обеспеченное" население, у каждого свой дом, авто у каждого члена семьи, в каждом доме есть газ, канализация... НЕТ. А вы слушайте дальше помои из телека очередного пропагандона с детьми и жёнами, проживающими в этих "загнивающих" странах, которые забыли давно русский язык, кушайте китайскую лапшу, пока Китай присоединяет Сибирь и вывозит ресурсы и лес за копейки. И не забывайте следить за повышающимися ценами в магазинах, и растущей ценой на бензин и всё остальное в "великой" нефтегазовой державе. И 30 сребреников отрабатывайте получше, хозяину кланяйтесь пониже)

@@svetlanakomarova6378 а ты когда последний раз в РФ была? Или привыкла наблюдать "процветание", смотря телек из офиса в Москва-Сити? Съезди и поживи сначала среди народа, в бараке под снос, в селе без дорог, в гнилой хрущёвке, а то из твоей любимой "загнивающей" Европы и натовской Турции, где ты любишь жить, тариться и отдыхать, как-то не очень "патриотично" трындеть. Типа РФ в отличие от "замерзающей" США и прочих НАТО очень нищая по ресурсам? А вот по населению да, нищая. Потому что все ресурсы у приближённых к "императору" олигархов. И все деньги от этих ресурсов текут как раз в "загнивающие и замерзающие" страны, где и живут семьи, дети и родственники абсолютно всех чиновников и олигархов. И отличие основное в том, что в РФ-ии народ работает, вкалывает, и при этом нищий, а в США нарики сами такими стали, бомжами и отбросами, и никто их не заставлял принимать наркоту, могли бы работать, или просто жить на пособие, без всей этой грязи и наркоты. В США простой бомж, живя на социалку и не бухая, получает больше, чем простой работяга или врач, вкалывая по две смены подряд в "великой" рф. А что насчёт социалки в РФ? Пенсионеры, отдавшие всю жизнь на своё гос-во, в итоге копаются в мусорках за "копеечкой", и распродают на улице свои старую одежду и предметы обихода, чтобы хоть как-то выжить и протянуть месяц до следующей "огромной"пенсии. Нищета и грязь на улицах США?))) Вы наверно давно за МКАД носа не показывали. Съездите, вот удивитесь). Хотя такие, как вы, глухи и слепы к проблемам людей. И даже если вас ткнуть носом в дерьмо под ногами, вы всё равно будете утверждать, что это шоколад, потому что так по телеку сказали. В отличие от вас, я живу среди простого народа, и вижу всё это каждый день! Но тупым безмозглым зомби бесполезно что-то доказывать и объяснять.

Тут наркоманы - все еще люди - целый свой квартал - делай что хочешь. В рашке только пикни - исчезнешь в неизвестном направлении. Просто если голову из трусов не доставать - не видно.
Hardly much of a documentary here....just some creepy footage of a few dozen women walking around. see any men in crisis or just like looking at the ladies?.....A little more editing of punctuation and grammar too, please . wow.
I imagine what their lives could have been, if they would have been able to overcome life’s difficulties.
I imagine them being happy, having a home, a family, dreams and plans.
The helplessness, loneliness and emptiness the look on their faces show, is heartbreaking.
I feel sorry and sad for all those who aren’t strong enough..
Beautiful words.
LMAO! Have been happening in the Black, and Hispanic community for many years, 'now' because they are white the sad music and 'now' a psychological and medical explanation for their problems. BS!...ALL NATIONALITIES SUFFER FROM ADDICTION. Because they are 'white' no exception what so ever!
Imagine them choosing not to abuse alcohol and drugs! Imagine them working for a living, instead of thieving and whoring!
It looks like a zombie attack
So well said! I overcame addiction lost my parents when I was a teen they both overdosed on me by the age of 17 I lost both my parents. I watched them slowly become completely new people. And it all started with a car accident with my father. Then I slowly became them I did 6 years in prison for non violent drug fueled offenses. I seen people murder people and get the same amount of time. I’m sober since 2015 and honestly life has never been harder! I’m forced to work threw temp agencies that use me because of my record that’s non violent and almost 7 years old! I stole, bottom line! Nobody will trust me. Even though I’mma completely different person. I dread the day I get pulled over and see how that interaction goes. Idk I lost faith in the system and the police when I told that cop my mother was getting dope. But I was 18 under age and had a drink 🥃 so that was more important to them. She called them on me because I was not letting her dealer come! They took me then released me 4 hours later to a dead mother on the floor. Guess me having that drink ruined my chance to save my mother but the police should have listened. I suffer everyday from this and that’s just my mothers story my dads is 10x worse.
Merci pour le partage 🤔😟😩😣😭😭😭
You seem creepily fixated on the females in these situations. If i was a cop in this town i would be looking into your activities.
On the contrary, if you were a cop in the area, you probably wouldn't be doing much.
@@thewandering525 no brother i was the cop you wanted out there and the city controls whats going on this ALLOWED...philly the birth place of this nation!!!! And they have ALLOWED it to happen. Its all by design brother...i dont have the time to spin ya up.
Why does this only have 20 upvotes? This is a seriously creepy dude. Focuses on females like a serial killer.
@@Guesh13 wow. Thanks. I thought i was the only one who caught that vibe. Plus i used to be a cop for 16 yrs so maybe thst was it? But thanks for seeingvit as well.
@@bikelifechris2401 sounds like somebody needs to look into your closet to chrissy...but you would need to come out of it first.
My experience weaning off of morphine my doctor prescribed for twenty years was that even though I reduced very slowly over almost a year, I always felt so sick. It was such a terrible feeling, with a gnawing urge, severe bone pain, little sleep, and never restful. Knowing that taking a little more morphine would ease this meant if I wasn’t stubbornly strong, I could have felt better.
My doctor didn’t take me off it- I made the decision and she supported me, so I went from 800 mg a day (enough to kill a horse) to none with much suffering. But first, I went off a Benzodiazepine, which my doctor thought would be harder!
I feel so bad for people living like those you showed on the video! I can only imagine the pain they go through living on the streets and see that drugs are a source of comfort they turn to there. Excellent work out there! Things in California, where I live, are bad, too. 💔💔💔
Your doctor should be arrested. Who needs pain killers for 20 years? I broke my neck and only used them for 6 weeks. Wtf....
@@boofert.washington2499 Dude 😅
Eres fuerte, admirablemente fuerte.
I had the same thing happen but only 200mgs for 15 years, so I know what it's like. there are so many feelings and difficulties from such experiences. nobody can understand the experiences unless they personally lived it. congratulations on making it through the ordeal, but I'm sure it's still an everyday ordeal so hang in there and keep your head high
@@prince_dogboy
It was rough, but I wanted to know how much pain I’d be in without it, and actually, the bone pain I had while on the morphine went away after a year off!
How are you doing now? I support you! 🥰
Охренеть у них срач на улицах и нариков. И они ещё всех учат как жить

@@maksym7279 это просто две несопостовимые темы,ребята сражаются против вот такого как тут показано образа выживания. Что бы не дай Бог у нас такое же на улицах было
Все эти видео очень грустные. Очень жаль людей, которые попали в эту ловушку - по тем или иным причинам подсели на наркотики. Но я думаю, что если ничего не меняется значит это кому-то выгодно - местным властям, торговцам наркотиков, благотворительным организациям для отмывания денег..
Я прочитала, что в Америке 30 млн наркоманов.. И каждую минуту кто-то из них умирает. Молодые и старые, которые могут ещё долго жить. Это какая чудовищная цифра, и все это человеческие жизни и трагедии, до которым никому нет дела. Это очень грустно и страшно. 💔

@@supermegaking4119 lol what prosperity and peace?! 🤣 How delusional? 🤯 Omg your mafia owned country Putin’s Russia is invading a sovereign country called Ukraine. Your forest are burning as we speak and what on earth are you talking about prosperity? Your country is sanctioned left and right by the richest nations in the world. Can’t make enough cars only with cheap Chinese parts that would fall apart. Can’t sell oil to prosperous rich countries either only to developing countries that buy cheap oil and pay cheap prices only. Lol. Crazy. What the heck are you talking about here about peace when your country is waging a war against so many innocent people? Huh? Wake up and smell the coffee. Such are the naive people of Russia where you don’t even know how your country is viewed by the rest of the world. Absurd.
Ты реально Дура или шутишь так?
How depressing 😞
new to your channel. I was in the mental health field for many years you really know what your talking about 100% true pure fax most people don't understand it is more compilated then most will every know so sad. this is a fantastic video Thank you.
Again, word. It's a lot more complicated than "give them a place to live and clean up" like that's easy. It isn't.
Born and raised in Philly but moved over 40 years ago. Seeing this pain and hopelessness pains me. So many of these people are good people and made a bad decision. I live now in a colder state and I'm thinking my goodness what happens when it's winter time in Philly where do they go to survive?
They are still on the streets in the dead of winter. Only with more burn drums on each block. The sad thing is this open air drug market attracts ppl from all over this country. K & A was always bad since I was a kid, a kid in 1968. I lived about 20 miles away, we didn't go to K & A for anything. We stayed away from the badlands. We weren't that far from Kensington but we knew to avoid it. My cousin who was stabbed there in 1968, was lucky he survived.
The cost of living is so high that it does not pay to work when you can't even get off the street. Now wonder people give up and that is exactly what the government wants. Drug overdoses helps thin the herd and far more people die from it every year then most of our wars. So The agenda is population control and by God its starting to work like a charm. We are just a number unless you are rich are super rich and then you don't have to ever work because money makes money and you can always hire plenty of slaves to enrich yourselves even more.
Praying always 🙏❤stay strong 💪❤🙏
I wonder how many of these ppl truly have nowhere to go. It is frightening to think there are ppl in this country are alone. No family no loved ones at all.
In my country, there are no homeless people on the streets and begging is forbidden. We also pay less taxes than US citizens. It’s Switzerland before anyone asks.
@@Buckhunter66 That makes no sense. We actually had a severe opioid crisis in the 90s which was like Kentingtons Ave in every city. The way we solved this problem was by legalizing heroin for those people, which worked immediately and greatly reduced deaths and infections. We also have big cities like Zurich (~400k people) and there are no homless people & no open drug use. The number of citizens doesn’t play a role here, but rather the social economic system. We have shelters for people that have nowhere to go and actively help them in finding new jobs. The USA has always been a pure capitalist, minimalist, anti-socialist country, which spends most of its money on the military. There are problems in this, as the pyramid of wealth is growing wider and wider.
We tax the rich more, yet our economy is one of the best in europe and Switzerland is very wealthy (every 12th person in Switzerland is a millionaire). We spend way less on the military and use some of those savings to provide absolutely vital social services, whereas the USA does not. I’m happy to say I don’t live in the USA.
@@Buckhunter66 Coincidentally, countries with the strictest drug laws have the biggest problems with drugs themselves. Take for example brazil or the philipines, where people can legally be killed by police for using drugs, yet they are the biggest suppliers of cocaine and methamphetamine. The case like it is with Kensington is exactly how it looked in swiss cities in the 90s too. Police can simply do nothing about it, as it’s too big of a problem to address one by one. The US government just looks away from cases like this and pretends it’s not a problem. They simply don’t want to spend the money it takes „to get rid of the problem“. Furthermore, even the US-government realizes that locking these people up will solve absolutely nothing. When they get released from prison, they have nowhere to go and obviously turn to drugs again. The USA takes no attempt to reintegrate these people into society by helping them in finding new jobs and life perspectives, which would actually help with the drug issue. Instead, it just abandons them from society and refuses to accept that they have a massive crisis.
@@Buckhunter66 I agree. This is the consequence that is entirely on the US government. It shows political instability and a failed social system (no social system). By attempting to reintegrate those people, they would not only help their economy, they’d also be one of the first modern countries taking a step back from pure capitalism. Many of the american people who are in jail, are there because of a felony involving drugs. If we are honest with ourselves, these people have done nothing morally wrong and mostly live painful life’s, fulfilled by suffering. Other than US propaganda campaigns might suggest, many of them are very much normal people who are there for consuming/providing socially unaccepted drugs. Locking up those people costs money, it’s a heck lot. Now imagine saving this money and putting those people into jobs of their intelligence class. It’s a shame of wasted potential in the USA. They showed russia which system works better and yet, they believe it cannot be improved anymore. Like a scientist making a discovery but not investigating it.
By the way, I’d bet you’d be surprised how many European countries have similar problems, despite getting payed shittons by the EU. The USA is obviously this but on a way larger scale. That’s not to say it’s the only problem the USA and other countries have.
The US also supplies more aid to other countries than any other country in the world. US citizens pay taxes for military and foreign aide
...Seems like the camera is mostly following the lady homeless here for some reason. Good documentary though.
Yes sonny Corleone 😊👍👍🙏❤️💜
الكاميرا ركزت على المراة ، لأن المرأة تمثل الأم و الأخت و الصديقة التي لها وقع خاص في نفوس الناس ، تركيز الكاميرا عليها يضفي على الموضوع طابع الجدية لخطورة الحالة
No he's creepy would hate to look in his basement
Exactly, just like most of the channels also exploit them sexually. The questions focus on sex, be it bad dates or any abuse and less about the actual drug problem.
Here the camera acts as a hidden preditor following around addicted prostitutes. Notice they never follow around the male addicts smh. Then hide behind the same music and same script in every video. Where is the teachable moment when you use and read the same scripts in every video?
Most of these pop up channels about Kensington are nothing more than voyeristic predator's hiding behind a dash cam for self pleasure.
Are u gay or something 🥴L
Good on you guys for shedding light on this, bad on you guys going around in the cars recording people. That shit was so weird
Yeah and showing close ups of their face is kinda shitty imo
Most of it was women though
Also taping just girls makes me uneasy
Really appreciate how compassionately and openly this documentary was done. It’s so important to show how addiction can happen to and trap ordinary, responsible “good” peopl3 and isn’t simply the remit of the “bottom” of society.

And the Biden administration letting cartels poison americans freely across the border .....its Putin fault. Source... left wing media
I don't necessarily agree. If you live the right way, you'll never find yourself here. You won't associate with known users, you won't surround yourself or put yourself in a drug-filled environment, and you will literally never be tempted because you won't go near it. I'm in a situation that even if I wanted to buy drugs, I would have no idea how to get them. That's how far away from it I am. It can literally never happen to me. That doesn't mean I don't have empathy for these people and they didn't desire to be in this situation, likely they were failed very young by their parent/guaradian or simply made bad ill informed choices when they were children. But anyone that is a clean working adult is easily able to avoid this life.
@@adamlewis5700 stop being judgmental. You never know what could happen to you. Surgery and accidents requiring painkillers are major reasons why people become addicted. Some were given drugs as impressionable children. You need to just close your mouth, respectfully
This man mainly focuses on the women???
🤔
I wonder how many people see you creepily driving around and filming and assume you're a serial killer hunting for the next kill lmao
maybe he is, lol
In this area, absolutely no one, would assume that. You are clearly unaware, of the real problems.
We need to be praying for these people. So sad.😔

Practice shows that no calls for a “healthy lifestyle” can create a stable perspective for the masses of people - if there are no solutions to the main question of philosophy: the question of the meaning of our stay on Earth.
I can say that stable success in finding balance and true happiness in life cannot be achieved without accommodating God in your Worldview
In different earthly languages, people call Him differently: God the Father, Allah, Ishvara, Tao, etc. Only human ignorance leads to the opinion that since the "names" are different, then the Gods are different...
He started all this Creation together with us not at all for our sake, but for His own sake, for the sake of His own Evolution.
Our human task here is to develop ourselves - as a soul, consciousness - sufficiently, to go from Creation to the Creator, refining ourselves as consciousness - in order to merge into the Creator, enriching Him with ourselves.
God keeps track of what a person chooses - improvement or degradation.
Consider temptations and temptations (God is the Great Tempter) as our testing by our Supreme Teacher (Creator).
"Woe to the world from temptations, but temptations must come."
Let's remember everything - drugs are a trap of Evolution.
A person is born to Improve, but many destroy their souls with drugs and other bad habits. As a result, they go in the opposite direction from God.
How to "get out" of this?
I will explain the meaning of life.
Many do not know why they live and spend such precious time... the result: depression, alcoholism, drug addiction, suicide.
God grazes us as His flock, sends us to grow and mature time after time to the "pastures" of the Earth. Here, in interaction with our own kind and with the objects of the material world, we acquire and strengthen one or another of our qualities - good or bad.
... What contributes to the development of the soul? Study in educational institutions, various industrial and scientific work, self-education in all those areas of knowledge that are most important for spiritual growth. Also - helping others to master all this.
What hinders the development of intelligence? Lazy lifestyle, drunkenness and the use of other soul-destroying drugs, living in rough emotional states…
Having grown up to the human state in a series of many previous incarnations, very many people go further not to the Creator, but in the opposite direction from Him. And they find, in the end, not the Perfection of God the Father to which they should strive…
Engage in meditation and pranayama:
EXAMPLES OF meditations:
1. We must learn to live steadily with the soul in the spiritual heart (chest area) from it to look at the world around us, from it to send love to people, animals, plants, spirits, God. To do this, for example, you can learn to feel your head in your chest - with eyes, ears, lips ... (we will try to look at it in different directions and smile there, then the image of the head can be placed in all the chakras).
2. You can feel a ray of light from your chest, which comes from where love lives. And - let's stroke everyone we see with a ray of this light.
Try to imagine a gentle morning sun in your chest - and shine it, with rays-caress and hug everyone you see with your hands!
This can also be taught to young children.
3. Let's add: Imagine a fragrant rose. Let's introduce the flower to anahata. The chakra is filled with a delicate fragrance. (Let's introduce images of flowers into all the chakras).
Through efforts in practice, it will give blissful states, it will be a natural drug.
According to the book: Antonov V.V. - Ecopsychology.

I am curious as to why you constantly film females.
Every video seems to particularly focus on young white women. Why?
Because the guy recording is a freakin pervert.
you are making those women umconfortable recording them so openly and even stalking them.
Please, lower the music down...it is not balanced well and ear is struggling to separate. Thank you for your docs, I am enjoying them a lot. Philly was my dream city long ago. It is sad to watch :/
They're "unsheltered" because you can't do drugs in facilities. There are rules in there. And they don't wanna follow the rules. So, they choose the streets.
True! And some prefer to sleep outside. And some feel safer outside then in shelters. Not knocking shelters, just that shelters aren’t housing safe people.
So true.
If you’ve never been dope sick you’ll never understand why these people rather sleep on pavement instead of some shelter.
@@phairplaigh it’s a shame our government refuses to allow the drug used in Europe that allows a person to get off drugs without being dope sick isn’t used in the USA

I'm so grateful for people like you who bring awareness to addiction. Addiction IS a disease. No one, absolutely NO ONE intends or wants to end up like this. I'm so glad I got out of this. Everyday I wake up grateful to still be alive. Many years of being clean/sober and life is beautiful again❤️❤️
Stay well sandy ,greetings from Ireland 🇨🇮🌹

He’s not bringing awareness to addiction. He’s bringing awareness to vulnerable young women who are easy targets for human traffickers.
It's a choice. Not a disease. Many people have diseases and no choice in it. No, this is choice....trust me I know. I've done this, I blamed everything else apart from myself. Not until I got rid of all the excuses and labels designed to dismiss the real issue, when I then only had me self to blame, I finally made to correct choice to counteract the years of incorrect choice. If you don't hate what you are or what you have become, then you have nothing to fix. Looking outside for the right choices to come and fix your BS will never work. You need to either be scared chitless of what goes on around you, or start hating the scene you are in and who got you there. It was you that got you their by CHOICES you constantly made. Only when your core gets shocked or when you finally break down and take a look at yourself and say 'I hate me' will you look for the right choices from within. Some of the lingo we use regarding this stuff helps absolutely no one. If anything it dismisses real issues and prolongs usage. Choices not excuses.
If you got out of it, you made a choice. You would have done that on your own, your brain would have given you options, when you want to get well your brain will then see another option. You chose to take that new option. You did that on your own, sure agencies and departments can assist or aid with recovery but not until your brain made that CHOICE.

Thanks for the video. I know a few people who have left 12 step programs and they head to K&A like a magnet. It is very sad to see them do all the work and for some reason the give up. It only takes a one time use and you are there. Addiction is not forgiving.
This video needs to be shown at least twice a year in every high school across America.
I was genuinely intrigued and saddened by these people's situations but now it just feels creepy watching your videos.
I grew up with just my dad and my sister, my dad took us back to Mexico From L.A. where we lived with her till age 4 he sneak us out to Mexico because my mom and her brother and mother where on drugs and alcohol, we where left outside de apartment naked, but my dad took the role of a father and a mother, he feed us shower us cleaned and work in the evening after picking us from school, then he'll leave us by our selfs till we moved back to L.A. when I was 9. I grew up with no love I know that my dad loved us more then anything but he never mentioned to us because he didn't want us to get too attached to him because he was already 50 years old and he thought he wouldn't make it till he'll saw us grew up. I grew up with this emptiness I ran away from home at the age of 12 I lived the streets and met good people, but also met bad people, I almost got stab twice for no reason, but God always was by my side, I lived what another person would go through on the street, I started Alcohol at age 12 , till I was 19 I started with Speed, I became soo addicted that I used it for 2 months straight non stop till one day I felt that I was about to loose my mind I asked God for redemption and I prayed and cried my soul to God and next day I stopped till I was 23 I hit bottom when I was introduced to Cristal meth I did it for 4 months straight till I hit bottom and ones again God saved me , I only drank alcohol till I was introduced to cocaine at age 26 I started smoking it and ones again I hit rock bottom probably was the toughest to leave I was soo hook that I didn't give a fck about no one till I felt like shit and ones again I cried to God and Prayed to him to help me I was staying in a drug house , so I asked God to help me fond a job and get me out of there, to my surprise I started looking for a job the day after and after the fourth place I stopped by I got hire the same day and I finally got out of that drug house because I met a good friend and offered me his house, I got cleaned all this years I just drank alcohol but I was starting to abuse it and I crashed my car ,till that day I been cleaned for 8 years I have a lovely wife and 3 kids and I started my own cleaning business but the most important thing is that my dad always thought me about God and no matter how deep I was on drugs I always had this voice calling God and he loved me and loved you soo much that he will never leave you, there's only one thing he won't do and that's drag you against his will, he can't he made us free that's why he let us hit bottom so in our desesperation will seak him, trust in God and never doubt he's divine love, God bless you all.
God bless you as well.
Your story is a beautiful one the way you talk about God is so wonderful I feel the same way as you do God has never left me when I think it’s over that I can’t make it he comes to my rescue never ever let me down and congratulations on being sober and having beautiful children and a lovely wife don’t ever lose your faith.

Cuánta juventud sin fe ni esperanza .causa dolor tristeza .
Lo mismo siento y más tristeza da cuando vez que no son malos, pues no están ahí buscando dañar a alguien, ya vi varios videos y no veo que alguno le falte al respeto a una chica o a otro miembro, no dudo que no haya violencia, pero veo en algunos puntos como que se cuidan entre ellos, cuantas vidas destruidas, hay mucho por hacer, tal vez no por todos, depende lo dañados que estén, pero ¿y por las nuevas generaciones no podrán hacer algo para evitarlo?
Good explanation of why addiction keeps you in chains and how to unlock yourself from that misery.
Geez it’s like another planet full of destroyed lives and misery, I’m Australian watching this video in Melbourne and if this place doesn’t make you want to cry then nothing will, GOD BLESS 🙏
Ti seguo dall’ Italia, non parlo inglese ma so cosa è l’animo umano, con profonda tristezza e compassione penso che le persone non possano finire in questa maniera eppure è cosi
Очень жаль этих людей, их жизни разрушены. Сочувствую родственникам. Наркотики и алкоголь - это западня.
Sad but great video. Seeing the faces of those you filmed hit the heart. I hope one day this can all end. I pray those affected will say "enough", and change their lives. For the Grace of God, there go I.
You are so right!,I don't look down my nose at any of these people,because it could have easily been me.
I hope all those leggy blondes planted in the vids at least got paid.
What is common to these people is not poverty or drugs, it is loneliness.
May God bless you for your work on this channel. I live an hour south of this area. Sometimes I drink myself to sleep. I am a good worker.....heavy equipment operator for over 32 years. I see this video and I see myself soon. I wish I could help some how. My mind hurts and aches constantly seeing people in bad situations. "God and Jesus, please help me help more than I am, I am yours, help me help yours. I love you forever
The videos are just someone following around the same women filming them. Feels kinda weird even though the message and awareness are good.
It’s not gawking if there is a dull homelessness and horse tranquilizer speech
Nah you’re just sensitive and perverted. This is a PSA about a serious epidemic effecting this country, not a creep stalking people.
I’m sure there are female predators that target those women. It’s just a sad thing.
The message is that trash is trash. These zombies belong in a landfill. No sugarcoating it
Yeah kind of stalker like. Creepy.
when I look on google maps, I cannot get the street view past Walgreens, I reckon the google car driver said 'nah fk this'
lol
that girl clearly didn't want you to film her
These women are so vulnerable out there...they can't even get away from people recording them.. I notice you don't focus on the men.
Right. He is creepy for that. He probably wants to buy or sexually assault them.
Stop hating
@@dmv420grower lol who am I hating on??
These women gave up their feelings when they chose drugs
What they did under cover of darkness they are now doing in the light! Injecting drugs!
Dude, you need to look up the term "drug tours". A lot of those people you see walking around are not even from Philly. They traveled there specifically to do drugs with little risk of getting in trouble. They heard about Kensington Ave., so they went there. Many of them CAN'T leave because the addiction is too strong.
You can see the levels in toxicity among the users. Some are just kicking their habits off and some are at their end days with little to no intervention in their sure as hell death. I've heard of the scenarios that you paint, people coming in and thinking they have control, but then quickly succumbing to the scene. Many ways in, only two ways out. Dead or clean.
It's unfortunate, because you can see people who might actually have a chance at avoiding how deep this rabbit whole goes. We have probably all met people like this in their lives but I've never seen an addict stop just short of going this far. And that's the addiction taking hold, but no one would ever admit it's happening to them while it's happening to them. Next thing you are virtually a dead person breathing wondering how it happened. The addiction bridal veil makes everything hunky dory while you are in the honeymoon phase of addiction.

I'm from sw Philly I have been in the L before but never ever seen this in Kensington I need to take a walk through there just to experience this, this is weird came to Philly in 1996 never ever seen this in my life I need to experience this see you soon Kensington.
How long has this been happening? I'm just wondering thanks
Xylazine is a non-opiate analgesic animal tranquilizer used in veterinary medicine. Depending on the dosage and the subject (animal), lethargy for easier handling or deep sleep for surgery and other procedures can be induced. In humans, depending on the "mix" it can cause lethargic behavior and uncontrollable intermittent sleep. Injection site ulcers are common.
Only answer for cheapest opioid, i mix 5 whole nutmeg raw powder with 90 mg pseudoephedrine + 300 mg dextromethorphan with glass of warm water, after 3-4 hour when the effect come, i feel better far beyond then use crystal meth, myristicine is best mmda but poisonous and can make nausea when we consume it without dextromethorphan or pseudoephedrine, not yet get overdose because one shot drink is enough for next 12-48 hour, for make strongest effect just drink caffeine.
They are mixing it with the fentanyl and basically all the dope because they can put just a little bit of xylazine in the batch and the users will think it’s stronger dope because it’s making them so sleepy and lethargic. In the doper community it’s called “trank dope” meaning tranquilizer dope.
how much and where?
What animal? What weight? What age? What procedure? Complete and current medical history.

For every choice you make in Life There's consequences, Choose Wisely.
Definitely understand your point but some of these people didn't choose to be homeless COVID-19 destroyed some people's life's they lost everything and can't make it but choosing to shoot up heroin is definitely a choose I don't feel bad for anyone who is putting a needle in there arm that to me defines WEAKNESS
Have you ever been severly addicted to a drug? It sounds like that you are simply coming from a place of the outside looking in.
The majority are in this situation as a result of of thier own decisions, good and bad. Trying to help an addict that is not ready to help their self is futile and exhausting. I feel sorry for all those living in these conditions but handing them out money only feeds thier addiction.
@@dcdanger6151 The first time you use its your choice in ways and in many ways its not. After that its not a choice anymore. People go through things in life, very painful things, that guide them to the path of addiction. When i say painful i mean physically, emotionally and mentally. Giving them money while they are in full blow addiction, early on or even 6 months to their first year of sobriety can be bad. When people are using they are using to get away from their problems and when they get sober all those problems are thrown right in their face everyday by the people who are suppose to be helping them lol. You should give addicts a break. They definitely need help and sometimes giving them a taste of sobriety is all it takes.
In 1997, I worked in Philly for a city funded organization which addressed the homeless, addiction and situational homeless population for many years. It's not about "choice" because no one I worked with chose to be homeless or addicted to drugs, alcohol or both. This video is about the city getting up off its arse and get the federal funding to establish clinics, rehabs, outreach services and other appropriate human services which are needed to address this out of control situation. Contact Lincoln University, PA to conduct a research analysis of this growing crisis. You did it from a Legal/Moral Perspective with people of color during the PCP and Crack epidemic. Now use the Disease/Public Health Perspective to address all human needs.
Дай Бог здоровья и удачи Вам от души
It's a bad situation, I feel sad for these people, I hope one day they can overcome this terrible drug addiction

Good luck to you Joseph Juba. The comment at 10:30 and the thrust of this video is completely backwards. Most homeless people we interviewed say that they had family, friends, relationships, jobs and a place to live before they started using drugs. As a former city social worker I and my colleagues were not allowed and are still not allowed to say this fundamental fact. Our government funding and federal grant money depend on perpetuating the disease narrative. The real root cause of homelessness is drug abuse.
@@1982nsu agreed I lost everything and then some but got it back. That's my point in saying I don't blame no one for what I lost. I made poor choices I needed to take accountability for my actions.
