Soda tax?? New Stadium?? Too much money being used in wrong areas over the years
Democrat policies at work
The soda tax goes toward childcare.
That's Democrats...you were lied to Republican doesn't mean white supremacy. It means America and Americans 🇺🇸 first.
They'll be bk!! Unfortunately, Kensington will NEVER change!! I am a recovering addict.....I was homeless on those very streets for 2 & 1/2 yrs sleeping in abandos or the pavements, eating at the soup kitchen, seeing things that NO ONE should EVER see, having horrible things happen to me etc......I felt totally "STUCK"..... **ADDICTION is a very sad, lonely & scary existence.... IF ur a struggling addict, PLEASE realize that UR LIFE IS WORTH IT & U MOST DEFINITELY CAN GET CLEAN & SOBER!!!! If I can get clean/sober after using EVERYDAY for 20+yrs ....U DEFINITELY CAN TOO!! U are ALL In my thoughts heart and prayers....stay safe!!!
💜🙏💕🙏
Yo Goodluck beautiful ❤stay strong 💪
❤🙏
God bless you ❤
Wow
Your right.glad you straightened up bro,that's a crappy life I've been there.they will be back around shortly.
So they moved to other blocks? That’s just stupid!
Take them home !!! So don’t complain.
What happened ?You and I know the real truth and the facts this has been allowed to continue to go on for more than 30 years the city administration is not telling the public the real truth for this much heroin , fentanyl , crack , pills and what ever drug is the current "THANG " it's the police and the powers that be who run and controls everything there is no way in the world you can service over 7,000 junkies a week without the police being the main Kingpin now it's way way out of control now they want to clean it up
Well I'm going to get me some popcorn and a beer and watch this comedy cartoon show play out on television 😂😂
People need to take responsibility for their own actions. There is plenty of help out there for people who want to get clean. Stop feeling sorry for people who just want to keep getting high. They're choosing their circumstance.
Nah bro it's in their dna make up. They are genetically drawn to it.
You're a clown, your response shows you have no idea what your talking about. I work with the homeless here in Canton, Ohio and yes there are those that love living homeless and addicted but there are A LOT that had no choice and don't do drugs and are trying to get back on their feet. Some out of despair turn to the drugs because they keep getting lied to by all these fake Gov agencies that really don't help anyone but those that work for it... The world is falling, get right with the most high TRIBULATIONS IS NEAR.
Why don’t you try putting yourself in their shoes and have some empathy instead? There’s no such thing as “choosing their circumstance” if what led up to their homelessness/drug addiction in the first place caused them to use drugs as a coping mechanism. It’s WAY deeper than simply the drug addicts and even the drug dealers themselves.
@dualmagnum2364 because during the 80s and 90s when black people were addicted, they got locked up. No one had empathy for them. Joe Biden increased sentences for possession of Crack vs powder cocaine. Now that it's white people, they're sick, they need help. Foh. Black men remember everything they did to us and you'll see it on election day.
50 people who have no idea what they are talking about but it's a Free country. Until now.
They are out there right now. Right now. You are lying.
Wow
They lied from the get-go
@agatamacierzynska4436 I'm watching us livestream of it now ppl still there so u right.
Facts, they ain't going nowhere this is a joke.
Yuck realllllly?????!!!!
So in other words nothing was accomplished
What was accomplished was for the cameras n lies for the ppl that don't live around here
Basically
Precisely
Let's pray that the 40+ who sought treatment and/or shelter continue on the right path. It's a start.
Now the neighbors on those blocks will complain about people sleeping on their front steps 😂
Exactly 💯 😢
Ain’t none in my block & if there was my neighbors would have kicked them away 😂
They can’t come to certain blocks, like mine. Me and oldheads wouldn’t allow it
Old heads won't let them stay one hour on their block.
Have a bando on my block. The addicted had been trying to set up camps right along, but my neighbors and I wont let them set up shop it all
We tell them you cant be here.
For the most part they are respectful get up and move along with no issues.
Then the same ones came and broke the metal covering that leads to the basement of the property..not 2 hours after the clean up was over.
10 addicted pple went in that house...block captain (my neighbor) called the cops...
Cops came and went in there,7 left free...3 got cuffed and stuffed
Yesterday the owner showed up...put another metal plate over it...
This morning more came and tired to set up a tent..
Nope...we chased them AGAIN
So the authorities have spread the problem into residential streets??? Isn't that worse?
democrat policies
Exactly 😂. Smfh
The city is sick of the Kensington Ave apocalypse videos online that's all this is.
Try walking around there and see for yourself. I have to go through there several times a week to get my groceries and house stuff. It's horrible around there.
Those videos make it aware those people need help. The videos are sad. They won't get the help they need because they are underdogs.
No dirtydelphia people love this you guys are animals
@@user-qp5dk3ji2sNo, they won’t get the help they need because they’re rabid drug addicts who refuse to give up their needles.
Exactly 😂
I hope that lady finds her family!❤
Last year there i saw a lady walking down that street looking for her kid and a few months later another lady walking around there looking for her kid. Every time I walk through there to get my groceries I come back home extremely depressed.
Sadly, they don't want her back.
@@iveyhealth2266You should try having a heart bro, it helps.
They will be back to those same areas within a week. Clearing out is a big joke
Government let's it get that bad to begin with then swoops in like Batman to make you think you need them
lol
They are just moving them from one spot to another. Meanwhile fentanyl, cocaine, heroine and drug cartels are welcomed into our country (even flown on jets) to bring more destruction to every, once pleasant middle class neighborhood.
The addicts made themselves addicts by...using drugs.
Progressivism to the core. Make a mess then tell you they saved you when they clean it up. Simpletons will fall for it and thank em
@@yvonneplant9434 More like lack of affordable housing/poverty in general, little to no job opportunities/low paying jobs, mental disorders/traumatic life experiences & lack of access to affordable healthcare are the reasons as to why people end up homeless and end up using drugs as a coping mechanism. The reasons above are to blame rather than these people themselves.
ronald reagan started this problem
It's just for show. Politics as Usual.
Jeff is so honest thank you . Yes hundreds!!! That being aloud to go on as long as it has it will take years to clean that place up and get those ppl out of there. What a horrid and sad place that area is 😢
Like moving all your dirty laundry under the bed, to look good for presentation. Then the dirty clothes start to smell, What Now!
They will just move a short distance away, maybe come back in a few days.
As long as they're not on that street I don't care because I have to regularly walk through there to get my groceries and house stuff.
@@Louis-iz8nq don't blame you a bit .
Just wait til people see the one stretch along Gurney St and Tusculum where the tracks and bridge are
So just making them just move to the other blocks n " keep moving " ?!! 🤔 💭 what does that even accomplish ? it just moves them to another area of the city ?!!! & All that does is give new people,in a new area,new problems ! people that want help will get it and those that don't will
keep running them streets ! The city knows this is NOT a long term solution but a way to quiet people that were getting to loud .
This why the wire the best show. No lies was told
24 years ago. Nothing has changed in Baltimore.
Cops can't stay out there like that forever, this is unsustainable.
So 5hey did not do what they promised everyone..😮..shocker 😒🙄
There has to be some attempt because there has been none for decades. This is a big task that has to be consistent. The residents deserve a better quality of life. The side streets have to be manned too.
So true... Every city cleans and people just move down the street. Outreach is out there Rock... I don't even live in Philly.... Praying for everyone 🙏
Its sad to see these folks on these drugs that lady is literally crying out for help from her family in hopes her family will see this news clip and save her because she can see that her time on this earth is going to be coming to an end if she doesnt get the help she is yearning for.we all have a story instead of judging these folks why not hear their story and see what drove them to this point.opiate addicts are some of the most loving people that once had a life and goals and something drastic happened to them whether its becoming addicted because of the pharma companies pushing painkillers to americas children or something fatal happened to them at some point in their life these are still human beings that have some life left america claims we are in a opioid crisis and people can get help if they seek it.we need to have sponsors go out and offer people the right sources and applications to get help for health insurance and different methadone clinic sites or rehabs that will help these souls.bless these folks and i pray they seek some help if they can.
Many thanks for cleaning up our mess . We'll be back ...
Thats the problem, if churches keep coming to bring food, and supplies, which is a good thing, but not for this situation, an addict has to feel rock bottom in order to make the decision for change, once comfortable, they won't make the move for a better life. Its like a mom giving her child money knowing its going in his or her veins.🤷
Your attitude is the problem. Some of us do care about those people. It's not easy to be an addict and it's not easy for them to get help. You say there are resources....where are they? I'm sick of people's cold attitudes.
@@user-qp5dk3ji2sFinally someone with a brain & a heart
@@user-qp5dk3ji2sThen YOU house and feed the addicts. You bleeding hearts need to hold them accountable for their voluntary drug use.
I thought the same thing quit feeding them 😂 they will come back. They are just helping the dealers
@@user-qp5dk3ji2s and you have a shallow mind, I was once just like them, if u don't know about this don't make stupid comments.
Listen....im not trying to sound heartless...
But ...they city is doing nothing more than shooing the flies away from massive amounts of shit.
What they need to do, is get rid of the shit...lock up the dealers...raid the suppliers of the shit
Its like slapping a band aid on a gaping wound...when stitches are required
You are absolutely correct in saying that it’s a band aid solution. I’ll even go as far as saying that yeah while the drug dealers morals are obviously wrong in what they’re doing and the effects of their actions, getting rid of them as if they’re the end all be all won’t be the one saving grace to fix everything. The problems are lack of affordable housing/poverty in general, little to no job opportunities/ low paying jobs, mental disorders/traumatic life experiences, and lack of access to affordable healthcare. Getting rid of poverty and then fixing the other problems above would have the amount of drug dealers lower significantly.
How come we can give people who come into our country illegally, hotels, food, and phones? But we can't help our own people. I think they should rally together and protest down at city hall and camp down there.
@@dualmagnum2364 I meant get rid of the drugs...then the dealers have no product to sell..no clientele to sell it to
Housing is a big thing, all these abandoned properties the city could sell them to flippers who could fix them and then make them affordable
I will tell you this..i happen to have a bando right across the street from me.
Its a corner property so its has those steps that go into the basement with the double metal doors.
For about a month or so prior to the cleanup, my family and neighbors were constantly chasing the addicted from in front of the house...
For the most part they were respectful and just left but there were a few who werent .
They tried to set up tents...our block is oldheads...we aint havin it.
So anyway 3 hours after the cleanup...the addicts got a crowbar or something and pries that basement covering off and 10 pple went in there
My block captain called the cops...they came out went in there and 7 came out on their own..3 got cuffed and stuffed.
The next day the owner showed up and resealed the entrance .
So far today weve asked 15 pple to leave ...they come in groups of 3-5
All day and all night...
Im so frustrated
A lot of these addicts say they wanna get off the streets but will also never stop using. It’s their choice at the end of the day. Keep them out.
Nah man it ain’t there fault, they don’t “choose” to be this way, it’s their way of coping. Blame the lack of affordable housing/poverty in general, little to no good job opportunities/low paying jobs, mental disorders/traumatic life experiences, and even lack of access to affordable healthcare. These reasons are the actual culprits.
I lived in that area for years....walked to the L everyday. These ppl and news station really pushing they made a difference. I dont live there anymore and i can bet those ppl have already returned. When your leaders allow this drug use to happen you get what you vote for. I thabk god im out of that horrible area and city. This is like the 3rd time theyve tried to clean up kensington and it always ends the same drug use in front of KA station.
So they'll get more tents more belongings and the dealers will move along with them ..and establish another location...waisted effert.
Give them your solution and help the community. We're all in this together!
We’ll go home and a lot of them don’t want help locked them force them to clean up that way. 90% of them are not from that city go home or to jailed
I noticed that too above 3 years ago as I walked around there. I could tell from their accents. One day I saw on that sidewalk a discarded certificate from a drug rehab center from Buck's County. The drug addict was released from up there to come down here to be on our streets doing drugs and sleep on the sidewalk.
It’s not going to be a one day or an overnight thing. It’s going to be a long thing to clean this mess up
We could maybe start by securing our southern border, where fentanyl, cocaine, heroine, and drug cartels are entering the US to destroy more American neighborhoods.
She wants to go home but resources have ALWAYS been available
Some resources are there sure but it’s not free, it still costs money which I’m sure they don’t have
Where do customers option funding to purchase?
Where’s the criminals being arrested? I haven’t seen not one drug dealer get arrested since this lady been in office!
These folks are not from Philadelphia. So now they moved to Allegheny Ave. Just wonderful 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉.
Imagine being a city so nasty and lawlessness the rest of the country call you dirtydelphia 😂😂😂
WHEN THE POWER OF LOVE OVERCOMES THE LOVE OF POWER
THE WORLD WILL KNOW PEACE
DON'T HOLD YOUR BREATH JIMMY
What did they think they were gonna do go home and call it a day ? Kenny did something similar years ago by the bridge and they migrated right around the block and eventually ended up on Kensington and Allegheny.
Junkies should not be tolerared
You shouldn’t be tolerated: such a close minded selfish brainless sentence. How about you try again and come up with a real solution…. Because guess what??????? That could easily be you or someone you care about although I don’t take you for caring much about humans or life…. Carry on…
You should try having a heart and embrace empathy bud, any one of those people could be you or a loved one under the correct circumstances as the person above me has said
@dualmagnum2364 I have empathy for people with cancer. These people chose their fate the second they stuck that needle in…
They do have a place to go…rehab! It is offered everyday!!
They can also go home. These people are not homeless in the sense others are homeless.
They are here to buy drugs and use.
So happy for the residents and business owners.
Well rehab cost money. You don't get into those places without insurance or you can pay the bill. I wish people would wake up and use their common sense.
Tf you mean they aren’t homeless in the sense others are homeless??? They literally don’t have a place to call home the same as we do and take for granted. Try having a heart along with understanding & empathy, it’ll combat your ignorance
I pray that lady is reunited with her family asap. Im praying for that to happen right now ❤
heart breaking 💔
WHAT IS THEE PURPOSE FOR ALL THIS ??????
To sweep them under the rug so they can't be seen. I don't know what to say except I'm discussed because how these people are being treated. I just hope they can stay safe! All the people there aren't drug addicts. That's why nobody will help them. Every time you move them they will just go to another place. You haven't solved anything. I'm sure being an addict isn't an easy thing to solved. Their issues run deep. By pushing them aside to me says "we don't care about you" ! Nothing will get solved with that attitude.
@@user-qp5dk3ji2sTo be fair, the people who are paying to live down there don’t deserve to have to pass rabid drug addicts every day which also literally makes a garbage can out of their city! I feel for those who can’t afford to get OUT.
Election year
Took long enough
Moves where?
Hey, I know that Arab guy and his store. I often go there to shop. He's a decent guy.
I used to drive around there, not anymore because its always something. Too many gunshots or fights, or crazies in the middle of the streets not wanting to move.
A lot of CZcamsrs are mad at this. Walking up and down the street filming was a way for them to make money.
The city of Philadelphia is named The city of brotherly love, so where is the love? All the city did was move the blemish and the eyesore that they obviously feel these people are and move them so they aren't seen. Out of sight out of mind I guess but the city should seriously think about changing their title from the "city of brotherly love" to the " city of brotherly indifference".
I don't understand why they don't clean up Los Angeles skid row just the same!!! 😮
Put them all in jail
Empathy… look up the definition and try to live by it
So now it's spreading.
Lets see how long this is gonna last
HELP THEM DONT JUST MAKE THEM MOVE TEMPORARILY, NASTY PPL JUST MAKE THEM MOVE FOR THE CAMERA
Cars always drove down that street 🤣🤣🤣 those zombies just moved into the neighborhood🤦🏿♂️
Mayor asked City Council for her private Slush Fund $100 Million for Allegheny = 90 Cots + Fill the Mayor's pockets.
Why is Jeff Cole on green screen acting as if he's there again? 🤔
Stop playing
They had a month warning. 1:41 Be Great Though.
Bro, they on Live feed as we speak, shooting up in the neck... And what about that title? Moved to other blocks, lol.
There’s no doubt now Jeff & Steve are shopping their fit at the Miami Vice outlet there at Kensington & Somerset.
Right on!👍🏻
😊 thanks Mayor, keep up with your Promise.
Those church groups could have planned ahead of time and provided everything.
This will only stop when the residents take back their streets
59 people out of thousands. well done city!
Most of them aren't city residents according to reports. Of the 40+ that sought treatment and/or shelter it was reported that less than a quarter of them were from Philadelphia. Many of the people you see =on the streams are drug tourists.
@@jarretheller2244 Yea totally get that they are drug addicts stuck from other areas. My point is that there is thousands of homeless addicts and only 59 got treatment.
It’s a goad step , hope the mayor keeps pushing forward,
Ty
For what. They are there right now. This is a show. And a bad one at that.
Yeah for what... they're literally around the corner now
No changes unless demolished.
The ones that wanted help took it
I was afraid for Jeff Coles safety, those two walkers almost got him😅
The question is, where are the drug users now? A few blocks away or what. How will they stop them from coming back. Residents should withhold paying taxes until it's really actually fixed.
There are still a lot of people out there. I just came from down there
they will cone back.
SHUT DOWN PREVENTION POINT....it's illegal in PA to give out drug kits and syringes, but Philly gets away with it....WHY?
Communism. That’s why they give it a pretty name. “Harm reduction.”
What about the side streets? Aren't there houses on side streets and people's homes and yards
I have candy machine not far from there and another one somewhere at 2nd st. I don't see it changing and the mayor is ridiculous.
It’s like scooping dog waste from your backyard and then putting it in the front yard. I guess you can say you did something.
Where are the junkies?
So the city want 1 million for drug addicts to be safe but yet they closed down schools for the youth and stopped after school programs. I’m starting to think they want people in this position to ask for money. I truly believe it’s going with someone on vacation
Humorous the dealers are standing right in frontnof the cops with bundles of fetanyl on them making sales directly in front of police. This city is gone
0:40
Had to be embarrassed to clean it up..Must be an election coming up.
What about the drug corners?
They have to stay open 24hrs a day to help keep the USA economy 1 in the world. There are many million dollar blocks in Philly and they don’t really want to be disturbed or the rent, grocery, car note, mortgage, tuition, insurance, cable, light bill , water bill, etc, etc may not get paid on time.
I just watched the live stream and watch the drug transaction
Glad to see Philly finally put them in Rehab and in Shelters. About time.
Green screen?
All this sympathy for drug addicts and criminals, who does those people think pay for those programs? Tax payers! I'm tired of paying for criminals!
Yea
This will never change thay will be right back in a few weeks
Lol how does that solve the problem 😂😂😂
Taxed into poverty with zero return to the citizens. Thanks king charles
🎯🎯🎯🎯
Maybe put them in jail?
Now they are in your backyard
Move along that’s right !!
GOOD JOB 👏
People shouldn't be feeding and giving handouts to these people. I think that just enables them.
Like I said… it’s all political!! The services aren’t there! My mom lives in port Richmond… so as happy as I am for the businesses- now they can make their money and Parker looks like she did something…. BS! They only moved them from K&A to right around the corner and deeper into the neighborhood!
Just build a fenced in camp for them.
Now stop handing out food and needles. Stop enabling them
Not solving the problem. They just move somewhere else
Just a shell game
