Tranq Tourism - Kensington, Philadelphia's Exploitation Epidemic
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 7 июн 2024
- A new drug called ‘tranq’, or xylazine, has been a big problem on Philadelphia’s streets for the last few years. But now, there seems to be a bigger problem.
Content creators have been coming into places like Kensington, a suburb badly impacted by the epidemic, and filming substance users without their consent or for small sums of money. Sometimes, these people are barely conscious.
We traveled to Kensington in North Philadelphia to find out what was happening, and to speak to people who run these channels.
We also spent time with Sarah Laurel, founder of Savage Sisters, an organization working directly on the ground to stop this exploitation from happening. Sarah recently set up the Harm Ethical Reduction Committee and believes that for more resources to come into her city, these harmful videos must stop going out.

I'm from Philly. Was born in kensington, worked in kensington, and know all its history and reputation my whole life. What the RUclipsrs are pointing out is what the vast majority of people in Philly already know and believe. And the videos are the perfect cautionary tale that could prevent people from ending up like what they see on video. Feels about exploitation are irrelevant if it can prevent more people from ending up the same way.
It's a noble effort to try to save people that have given it all up for the feeling of a drug. But it's just as productive, if not more, to try and save people from going down that road to begin with.
I'm sorry for you. Living in this area is a big challenge.
Woke activists hate when journalists expose real picture of their woke utopia.
Well said!!
I agree 100% with what you’re saying! My only hope is the people who should be watching them are watching them!
Some people are addicted to substances and some people are addicted to enabling. 😊
i think influencers showing the effects of tranq zombies + flesh wounds does A LOT more to prevent people from using this drug than handing out "harm reduction kits" with crack pipes and lighters.
Exactly!
Agreed. Im never touching not even alcohol ever again. Thanks to these "exploitative" youtubers. I'm glad they are our there showing reality. Since when is journalism exploitative?
Disagree with attitude towards street journalism. The general public should be shown just how our government does NOT care about it's citizens. Those images of Kensington are educating the public to the severity of this lapse in law, social support and morals. I thumbs up the street journalists. It is freedom of speech, we have a right to know.
but he is profiting off of it. He wants to exploit other people and show their faces, but he won’t show his.. weird. If he is not doing anything wrong, why does he need to hide his face? Why does he need to set up a phone and record people every single day a few videos will do the job not thousands.
how about the those citizens start caring about themselves, they live in the greatest country on the plant, and THEY chose to live in a stupor. NOBODY'S FAULT BUT THEIR OWN!
Woke activists hate when journalists expose real picture of their woke utopia.
If this is what the greatest nation looks like then the world is screwed. You looking at reality and the state of a failing Nation. All you have to do is accept reality. This ain’t hollywood.
@@isabelluhh4178it's because he's too lazy to get a job
The situation in Kensington is a disgrace and I hope people continue to report on it until politicans get off their asses and do something about it.
What’s wrong with the word addict? It is what it is, and not calling them addicts is not going to make this horrible situation go away. 🙄
It’s all about destigmatizing the disease that is addiction and using language that reflects an accurate, science-based understanding of SUD.
Basically, what’s wrong with calling someone with substance abuse disorder an addict is because it’s STIGMATIZING. You are labeling a person by his or her behaviors.
Using the term “person with substance abuse disorder” provides a more respectful and educative understanding/medical perspective.
For example,
“Stigma is a discrimination against an identifiable group of people, a place, or a nation. Stigma about people with SUD (substance abuse disorder) might include inaccurate or unfounded thoughts like they are dangerous, incapable of managing treatment, or at fault for their condition.”
“For people with an SUD, stigma may stem from antiquated (old timey) and inaccurate beliefs that addiction is a moral failing, instead of what we know it to be-a chronic, treatable disease from which patients can recover and continue to lead healthy lives.”
How does stigma affect people with SUD?
“Feeling stigmatized can reduce the willingness of individuals with SUD to seek treatment.1,2
Stigmatizing views of people with SUD are common; this stereotyping can lead others to feel pity, fear, anger, and a desire for social distance from people with an SUD.2
Stigmatizing language can negatively influence health care provider perceptions of people with SUD, which can impact the care they provide.”
What's wrong with the word asshole. It's like an opinion everyone has 1😂
Man I hate this righteous shit! Addict is wrong now? "We choose to call them friend" she went too far on that one
I wouldn't call it "tranq tourism " if it's bringing awareness of what happens when lawlessness and lack of support run rampant.
I don’t see anything wrong with them filming, it brought awareness for me. How is enabling them help? The wound care and shower I agree with, but handing out paraphernalia?? The addicts receive more assistance than the average working class.
It's just as useful as wound care... They will use these things no matter what but when they have access to syringes and so on that are clean they are helping to keep them safer, less diseases are being spread, less abscesses, wounds and so on....
The city, the state, the DEA have instated multiple drug programs to combat this problem, thanks in part because of all the attention videos have brought and yes the addicts do have access to help, but the sad reality is you can't force nobody to stop using drugs if they want to, look at Mathew Perry he said himself he spent over $9 million dollars in rehab centers and he still relapsed into drugs multiple times
It’s great that you are providing help for people but I have to ask, “why on earth are you passing out stems and meth pipes”? I can understand giving out needles, to prevent blood disease, etc. What does it benefit to give them crack/meth pipes??
It's probably a tax write off for her b.s. organization.
They are not helping anyone. You can only argue about her work making things worse. She is only making addicts feel a little bit more comfortable in their addiction. She only makes them live their miserable and painful lives little bit longer like several months longer and that's it. If you ask her how many addicts she has saved from addiction and they are now normal productive people, the answer is one big zero. She is a part of homeless industrial complex that makes things worse for the whole society, but they are woke and extremely self righteous and narcissistic.
@@sarbantz Very well said and the absolute truth!!!! She is a savage!!!! she is one of them!!!!! Very big part of the problem!!!!
@@sarbantz That was rough,but true,absolutly.
Diseases can spread from sharing crack and meth pipes.
Sorry honey, its legal to film in public , you are doing more harm to users AND the public by enabling.
Two things are constant about recovered addicts they smoke cigarettes and they know everything
I don't smoke cigarettes. Clean 32 years. I knew everything years ago. Now I just pontificate. 😊😊😊
Exactly. If they’re going to live on the streets out in public, they’re getting filmed. Period.
💯
sober 18 years. non smoker, know very little
There is a very fine line between supporting someone and enabling someone!
thank you.. there are many people out there trying to help these people.. they simply don't want it.
@@user-zp9br7jk9k
Well said!
When he said that he would him them $20 along with medical supplies I just shook my head because we all know where that $20 is gonna be spent.
@@luke1397
That’s exactly my point!
Well we can thank the Democrats are making no consequences so there's no reason or incentive for them to want to get help you go to another state where there's consequences for being an addict you go to jail a few times a lot of people decide they want help . I am a success story I'm glad there were consequences for my actions. @user-zp9br7jk9k
You guys actually think you are helping by giving them instruments to get high???? Working hand in hand with the dealers.... .
They are woke activists. You cannot reasonably discuss anything with them. They live in very narcissistic world without common sense. They will get extremely angry at you if you question anything they do. They save nobody from addiction.
i agree.. this is ridiculous.
I think they're trying to keep the street people from using dirty needles, so they won't spread diseases.
Better than using dirty needles
here's the thing. they do provide resources to addicts looking to get clean, and rides to take them to rehab. and they would love it every addict was ready for that, but some refuse or are not mentally ready to decide to get clean. That being said, without access to clean "materials" (needles, etc) the rate of disease and infection skyrockets, as they just reuse what they have. infections from shared needles are rapidly spread. that is what this organization is fighting to prevent. no, the process isn't perfect. but unfortunately addiction is so rampant, and there's just not enough people to help, or a way to solve the issue once and for all
How is handing out meth pipes & crack stems harm reduction? Back in my day we had to buy all our own paraphernalia and hid somewhere when using. If these people do all this right out in the open for all to see then you can't complain about people making videos. The videos bring awareness to how horrible our leaders/government is & how far America has fallen. Film on guys, I watch the videos from all over even Canada.
Spending time to prepare and package premade, ziplocked crack pipe kits makes no sense whatsoever. They get resold too. The helpers are not always helpers when you're in Kenzo. eg what appears to be someone trying to revive an overdose is actually a thief rifling through their pockets. The crack pipe goody bag thing smells like an agenda from higher up though.
This facility is part of the problem..they can’t see it..I remember the old days at McPherson square..when all my friends went to school and had a job..wanna shut it down you must climb high up the structural system..
Exactly!
It's harm reduction because it prevents the spread of disease, like HIV.
@@sue5158 EMT here. How do you get HIV from pipes?
Kensington was once a thriving small business district when I was young. What a horrible shit hole it has become. Assisting in an addiction by handing out drug paraphernalia is not helping to overcome an addiction but is enabling and encouragine the addiction to continue.
But getting interviews out there,maybe deterring some from choosing this lifestyle,is wrong?Everyone sees their own thing as what's right
And people are acting like they are doing the humane thing by passing out drug tools. I think it’s inhumane to be supportive of them doing this to themselves.
That's not the real history of Kensington. In fact it was mostly white Irish-Americans that transformed Kensington and Allegheny into an open-air drug market... Nearly 50 years ago.
False!! Nearly ALL the dealers in Kensington are African American
@@MancstaSam Do you have anything meaningful or intelligent to add... Or are you just here to state the obvious??
Showing what people are experiencing out in a public space is not morally corrupt. Many of the channels hand out food, clothing and other necessities. Their videos show what is happening and showcase the stories of the people living this life. This is dangerous, expensive and time-consuming - and it is WORK. The more attention to this situation, the better, and if some channels are more profitable than others, so be it.
I think it’s definitely beneficial that people see what is happening. The news sure as hell isn’t highlighting this crisis every night.
Yeah these are the same people that vote for the Democrats that are making these problems.
I do think a lot of people want to help in their own way profiability or none aside
the PROBLEM is that many of these social media video creators, do NOT even try to help the people that they interview. I have seen MANY many videos of addicts in different cities where the interviewer gets their story, and sooooo many people in the comments want to help, and the creator doesn't even try to allow people to help the people that they're interviewing. its sick, to be honest.
@@Rachel-uu4kuSo what! They’re making a living! Who cares!!!! If they don’t want to be filmed, quit junking up the public streets!
Old school opinion: forcing someone into detox and rehab is better than enabling continued drug abuse.
Normally I would disagree but with the flesh eating limb amputating effects of xylazine I'm inclined to think they qualify for being placed in a psych ward. When your limbs are rotting off of your body and you're still shooting that stuff up you NEED help and you NEED removed from this environment to survive. The costs of free emergency medical care for amputees, people having sepsis, etc probably cost far more than placing them in an institution & getting their mental health under control.
I feel like other countries, such as the UK, that is how they would handle this epidemic. In the UK they do this to morbidly obese people too. One person with an addiction can rack up millions upon millions of dollars in medical bills & it's a part of why Healthcare is so expensive here. We just let people destroy themselves.
@@sad2540 that all SOUNDS great. it really does. BUT the affects of tranq and zylazine are MUCH stronger than just pure heroin. so rehab, detox, any of those options - if the addict is not voluntarily WILLING and EAGER to get help, they will end up right back on the street and out of rehab within a few weeks. aside from that, lets FIX the rehab industry first - it is a mill - all THEY care about is making money, they WANT the repeat addicts. Rehabs barely ever try to address the root cause of addictions, which is usually trauma. all they do is give the patients Suboxone or methadone, keep them in a bed for a few days or a few weeks, and toss them right back out on the street. furthermore, rehabs won't take addicts with open wounds - they have to go to the hospitals first for wound treatment, and many won't go to the hospital. its a vicious cycle.
Allowing drug use is obviously not helping!
@@sad2540 It's quite impossible for someone to rack up multiple millions of dollars in medical bills. That's only possible in the US because medicine is a profit-driven industry.
@@carmenl163 I don't disagree. Our system is a trainwrecl
I can understand neesle exchanges to atop hep c amd aids, but handing out pipes?!? How is that helping
You do realize you can get any of those diseases from sharing pipes to right ? Especially with glass ones they tend to crack n break easy n people cut their lips n hands n often have sores then someone else uses it n gets cut also say your just a crack or meth smoker n you use someone else's pipe that had smoked fentanyl in it n you have zero tolerance for it now you od . At the end of the day people are gonna do drugs whether their given a free pipe or not . The best bet at this point is to make all drugs in a legal form nothing else is working the government is never gonna stop the drugs from coming in. alcohol is legal n one of the worse drugs of all n we see what a failure mass incarceration went in the crack Era its time to do something different cuz this shit isn't going away
The 1st person that came to mind is Amber. She knows how to manipulate all of the larger YT channels. For money, food, clothes, cash etc. Now
She’s been made into a local celebrity in Kensington
She's completely miserable though, extremely unhappy. I mean a local celebrity in Kensington sounds like hell, but it probably makes her extra money. Now unfortunately she's in the hospital again, this time in a drug induced coma. Very very bad shape according to Jeff. Lets pray she makes it.
She’s a mess, she seems proud to live there, deluded thinking she’s helping handing pipes out 😳
She should just hand out needles so non are reused.There’s a guy on the street selling used ones.
She’s an enabler.
She hands pipes out the front door, and probably connected to the dealers. 😂
She's very annoying on every level.
Oh boy...free food and free drug supplies! That's sure not going to help people get well! They are part of the problem.
Definitely
They are woke activists. Their ideology destroys everything.
Fact
I agree
She's an arrogant enabler
Back in my day if you wanted a pipe to smoke from, a rig to inject with, or food to eat that day, you had to set aside a few dollars from your dope money to buy that stuff. Now they hand out food, needles, pipes, water, clothes and they call it harm reduction. Lmao. You're just putting more drugs in the veins of the users by providing all the things they need to keep doing what they're doing.
I agree,how can they not see that.
Not having a clean rig isn't going to stop them from using drugs.... they're just going to keep using a dirty rig. It's to help people avoid the diseases, abscesses and so on and stay somewhat clean and safe in their usage. Not handing it out is what just trying to kill them off quicker and make their lives more miserable? I don't know how people could take offense to this unless they believe addicts deserve misery. They already are.
That also might have been before it was a widespread epidemic killing more people than car crashes. The general public should be thankful these people are getting at least some access to clean rigs. The drugs are what's flooding the streets not the clinic handing out clean supplies.
Truth!
Dirty needles cost the taxpayer a lot more when they show up to the emergency room with infections.
Stop enabling by giving them everything for free,what about the area and businesses they have destroyed
Exactly
The government should stop sending funding to that state. Then they will clean up Kensington then. Local officials are turning a blind eye to the problem.
I feel that handing out crac and meth pipes, and the other items needed to use illegal drugs is morally and ethically wrong. That is enabling . I wonder how people would feel if there was a store front handing out airplane size bottles of booze to alcoholics or tools and blank keys to a car thief . Disgraceful
Cigarettes for lung cancer patients,whats the differnce.
@@davidcarter1013 Technically, they don't hand out the drugs. So it would be more like they would hand out lighters and ashtrays to lung cancer patients.
The video makers are doing way more good than that fool bitching about the videos. Saturation of this horror is necessary.
I live around an hour away from Kensington. I pass through once in a while on my way somewhere else. I don't stop there. First of all the term"substance disorder" sounds like a joke. I did not realize that the word "addict" is not politically correct anymore. Second, you can't tell people not to go there. It is a public place. In effect you are saying those streets belong to addicts but not to the people who pay the taxes for them. Now me, I hate junkies. You need not worry about me going down there and filming. The last thing I want to do is spend my time with a bunch of life's losers. I don't feel sorry for them. Most of them knew what they were getting into when they decided to try it, because everyone knows that dope is addictive. And everyone thinks they will just do a little bit once in a while and won't become an addict. Sure. That always works out, right? Oh yeah I should mention that I was an addict for fifteen years. I always wanted to get off of it and tried several times but could not do it. I know the hell of dopesickness very well. I finally went to a facility and voluntarily checked myself in. Over the next year I got off with the help of a doctor and Suboxone. I have been clean for five years now, with no cravings. Most of the addicts on the streets don't want to get clean. You can't help those people. I know. My brother died on the streets and I couldn't help him. Anyway I worked extremely hard to get clean. It was a year in hell. I never once caved in. I conquered it. I am not "in recovery" and I am no longer an addict. That bullshlt about always being an addict is just that - bullshlt. Why saddle people with that? It is hard enough to get off yet you are still an addict if you do get off? Fvck that. Finally these people who expect everything to be handed to them for free could at least clean the fvcking sidewalks. Instead of pipes and needles give them brooms and dustpans.
I am a patron for AML films. Mal is non patronising, non judgmental, with a soothing voice and tone. He interview's, and gives back! when I started watching these posts, it utterly changed my concept of drug addiction. Some of the experiences dealt to these people are utterly heartbreaking. I think it's been put out there by someone higher up to cull the populas! 😢
Mal is a great guy. Gives me hope in humanity.
Why pander to these druggys saying they deserve respect, where’s the respect for the people who have homes and businesses in that area? Their lives are stuffed through no fault of their own.
I agree. And It's kind of funny to demand respect when you're out in public, passed out and bent over with your tail in the air all day. No offense to anybody.
Keep posting those videos guys a d Sara is part of the problem stop sugar coating and tell the truth those people are addicts.
Nothing makes more sense than to “fight” exploitation by exploiting the same thing against exploitation.
Thank you for this video - probably the best of all. And thank you for showing Jeff being a caring interviewer.
This is so kind, thank you!!!!!
jeff is not okay too, wake up!
@Game-ls2mo Yeah there's something up w Jeff, There's something up w All of them
Im sure you made money on this documentary 🤔
I disagree with the opposition recording and viewing Kensington. I am a social worker and have worked as a case manager for the homeless in Philly. These images need to be seen. I respect the dignity of these individuals. No, they are not in their right minds but they are also living in front of private homes and businesses. Just like the addicts, I also respect the people who pay to live in the homes in Kensington, pay for the parks there, and street maintenance. The drug users take resources away from the residents. They trap the children inside their houses.
It's a pathetic scene in Kensington that you will never be the same if you see it in person.
Very well said.
Drugiies don't want help, support or anything other than more drugs.
You can pour out your heart trying, but for all your efforts you will see nothing but more drugs and more death.
I’m on the West Coast and needed someone to find an acquaintance who was in trouble FAST last year - her time was running out and I was honestly afraid she’d pass if someone didn’t find her. The cops don’t care and no one can keep a cell for long so I couldn’t call anyone near her. Welcome power of social media.
I messaged Jeff of Jeff’s High On Life at midnight and he was out tracking her down within hours. Because of that, she got the immediate help she desperately, desperately needed. Jeff didn’t film it or talk about it online. He just did it. There was zero incentive for him to help her other than he genuinely cares a TON for his old neighbors. Please consider supporting his channel because the money his following generates means more people will receive more donated supplies.
Channels that solely exist for personal profit are nauseating.
Enabling and actually helping are different. All angles of this horrible addiction need to be shown. Not just what one lady is comfortable with. Sending resources cant happen if its not shown HONESTLY on a wide scale.
Start by locking up the dealer .
Thanks for letting me be a part of this. It’s sad what’s going on in Kensington and unfortunately the tranq(xylazine) cut fentanyl is spreading all over the country.
Thank you so much for sharing your story Jeff, your work in Kensington is amazing and I'm looking forward to continue following it
Very interesting documentary and a good performance from you Jeff. Honest, sincere and real 👍🏻
Thanks for sharing 🙏🏻
Great documentary and interview, Jeff!! Thank you for sharing ❤
Thank you Jeff for your transparency. And I can personally testifie that you 're always been helping everytime I asked you. ❤
@@OliviaEmpson-mb9futhank you for you great documentary. It was needed 👍👏💖
Our country needs to get folks with addiction off the streets and help them rather they want the help or not! Get them in a mandatory rehabilitation facility with a 2-5 year sentence of help and not allowed out! Clean the streets up. Instead of constantly putting money where is not needed! Help our people they are still human beings! Wake up America! 🇺🇸
Jeff is an active addict.. And anyone handing out any supplies is an enabler... Kensington Daily/Deep view media is the only honest interview you have on here 💯
He openly admits he smokes pot and does "magic mushrooms". That's not sobriety.
@@GrammyKat Shrooms or pot are many magnitudes less harmful than these types of drugs, they aren't comparable in any way whatsoever.
@@GrammyKat It's not an addict though, not like the people of kesnington or someone addicted to hard drugs or alcohol. Well shrooms specifically aren't addictive at all, but they're an amazing thing. I don't do any drugs, but I would love to know where to get shrooms where I live right now. I haven't had a psychedelic trip in 8 or 9 years. Weed on the other hand can be addictive to some people, it's just not dangerous and problematic or it's very very rarely problematic, let's put it that way. It's not sobriety. Does he claim sobriety taking those things?
@@Divalerie Absolutely, shrooms are not addictive at all. I don't do any drugs at all, but I used to LOVE to trip, but haven't in 9 years at least. I moved to a different state and would have no idea how to get drugs or shrooms. I wish I could since I would love to trip on that or lsd, always wanted to try DMT myself. Pot can be addictive to some people, but not nearly as addictive as the hard stuff. Pot is also not very problematic like you said. It's not sobriety though. Does Jeff claim that's sobriety?
Mr. Work is the best!
Their privacy must be respected while they lounge all day on the public sidewalk doing their drugs.
😂😂😂😂
U ridiculous
I'm from Philadelphia. I used to be one of them down Kensington shooting dope but this was before fentanyl and tranq. It was real dope and it didn't anything bad compared to this shit now. I'm 4 years clean and sober and never looking back
I think they should film this. Many young people watch this, maybe for the wrong reason but it could stop severel of them from using drugs as they see what a miserable life it is.
Thank you
This woman is no different, she is just jealous of other yourtubers, who are doing good educational work, exposing evil. Remember, the devil can only operatr in the dark, until he's hidden.
Yep. Woke activists ruin everything.
Thank you for showing Jeff!!He really is a blessing out there been following his page since the beginning ❤
It was great meeting Jeff and seeing all the work he is doing in Kensington
Jeff is not okay too, wake up!
@@Game-ls2mo y think we got your point Mr Parrot
When the face of drug use was 💪🏿💪🏾there was no talk about "humanizing" drug addicts. Its only because this is an overwhelmingly 🖐🏼 problem that all of a sudden the perception of these users is an issue. They called us "savages" and "crack monsters" and had no problem smearing 💪🏿💪🏾 forgive me if im not sympathetic 🙄
Short-term harm reduction and long-term harm reduction are two entirely different things, and if you don't understand that, then you are part of the problem. Bringing attention to the situation, as the social media people documenting it do, is part of the long-term solution.
The lady is too sensitive and out of her mind
Yes, she can get "rough". She's well known for that.
That 'they're not missing, they're hiding' quote she made was really dark. I've seen a lot of street interviews where the addicts say they have loving families at home who are looking for them, yet she seems to believe they are justified in running away and shooting dope there while working the streets often being brutalised by curb crawlers and gangs in the process.
She’s in the Woke cult
Ty for sharing this Jeff just sad
The RUclipsrs might be doing well from this, BUT I believe it's also raising awareness and maybe someone watching will have some type of power soon to do something to help. Handing out supplies to them is nice, but not helping.
Like buying cigarettes for someone with lung cancer
I’m glad people are helping but it’s still a choice .
I agree! 💯💯💯💯
Here we go again with the choice vs disease debate😒 Addiction is defined as a disease by most medical associations
@@1998bogusIt wasn't defined that way when they wanted to lock black and brown folks up en masse while looking the other way when whites used more than anyone else. They still do use the most, probably wouldn't be this way if this disgusting nation's government didn't enable whites to use for decades while severely punishing others for profit. This is the consequence, and it's deserved.
They are not helping anyone.
Dealers that push it, should get a mandatory dime, day for day.
1. If they had a real problem with exploitation they wouldn't make this video.
2. These video's have educational value and raise awareness to a real problem.
3. Its not half has exploiting as handing out paraphernalia for donations like the lady this video glorified.
Should be called Zombie tourism...
Props to You Tubers for showing just what our Cities/Politicians are allowing. Share the videos with your children and show them the dangers of their choices, and what those choices could lead too.
Uhhh I found this video because I found a video of a tourist that brought tranq to my awareness.
Might want to partner for fundraising.
i don't see how handing out drug paraphernalia to addicts is helping them... using a clean needle to shoot poison into your veins seems antithetical to helping.
i've seen countless videos where they show needles laying on the streets.. are those your free needles?
for children to step around... or on ?
Props to Savage Sisters and Jeff. 👍🙂👍
Jeff’s high on life and deep view media are great channels.
I watch these videos all the time. Not only about Kensington but Phoenix, LA , etc. It's important to watch and understand what is going on in our country. I think sharing this is important. The primetime corporate media is ignoring. I agree with other commenters that this women is enabling the addict not helping. I wish I knew the answer.
I grew up in Kensington. Oh how it changed. Miss those good old days in Kensington
My mom is from SW Philly and my dad from south Philly . I grew up close by in Philly suburbs. The human crisis in KEnsington is so devastating
I have realised my life is a million times better then I thought.Its so sad to see this sort of content.My heart go's out to all of thse people.All my love to you all.
Taking accountability of each is own actions is a start ✌🏻
God bless Sarah and her group thank u for helping and not just video taping people u are a blessing
This lady with the “trap” house or whatever is part of the problem. Normalizing this does not help anyone.
I appreciate what Sara is doing, however it kinda struck me in a strange way whe she Said "I don't even like too use the word addicte ?"
That's exactly what these people are . I almost what too say there's a little bit of sugar coating coming from her . I realize these people are human beings...
I also am in recovery, have been for 41 years . She again seems too have a problem with calling things like it is ..? Listen I'm from San Francisco and there's a lot of light being shared about the homeless, drugs , crime, and you know what ... it's not real flattering but it's "true" !!
If you want to make Kensington video you must ask her permission
😂😂😂😂😂😂. Help? You caused this Dems!!! Woke non profits!!! 😮😮😮😮😮😮
I don't know where this chick is from. I'm from Philadelphia Kensington and every word she said she wouldn't call these people,they call each other on a regular basis.
She even called it "her neighborhood" 🙄 lol
I am from ne philly. Princeton and large. I bet she's from the burbs but ended up doing dope at k and a. Lol. Her neighborhood my ass. If she was from Philly she wouldn't have said half the shit she said.
You are exploiting the exploiters😮
Kind of a good thing. Being from Philly myself, that chick with the purple hair is the worst. Prob not even from Philly 😂.
One of very few of many vidz on here where those involved are humble helpful and truly caring of the suffering they are amidst. Thank you.

I am from Philadelphia. I hate seeking people exploiting this issue. However some people in this video seem to be enabling people. The whole thing bus messed up. A loved one was found in that area that overdose the day after Christmas. This angers and scares me.
It's called RAISING AWARENESS. More people should be posting about the rampant drug abuse happening all over the country, not just Kensington. The more people know about the negative effects of liberal policies destroying our country, the better the chances we have to reverse course before we turn into a third world country......
And of the republicans destroying rural America. There is no difference; the opioid crisis is all over the US.
Who are the real exploiters?
A documentary about documentaries
Get them out of there. Fly them to the middle of Kansas or South Dakota. Have a facility out there , then help.
I am a recovering addict myself, and i highly respect this mans honesty in the whole matter.💯 Knowing he would get hate for admitting the truth about his endeavor, & STILL chose to be real about it. Theres not many in his situation who would tell the raw truth about his motivations & intent. And bc he did, ill always be a supporter of this channel!🙌💯
What’s sad is this is everywhere in this country. Small towns and big cities are 😢. Prayers for those suffering addiction and mental illness.
National security issue
Fentanyl and Tranq horse tranquilizer will kill millions in the United States just in this decade.
No it’s is not 😂 Kensington is the worst tranq / fent center in the world. Like comparing the ocean and a puddle
Sarah ty to you and your group.I have seen people better themselves WITH your help.
What an incredible advocate Sarah is!! Love that she is shedding light on the exploitation going on and the all the other work Savage Sisters is doing for the community 💞
They truly are amazing!
Woke activists hate when journalists expose real picture of their woke utopia.
They’re woke activists.
We are in a capitalist society. So if people can make money off these videos.. so be it. It’s called life. Life ain’t always easy.
Thank you! So WHAT if they’re making bank! You crap all over the streets in public. Don’t act like you have dignity for God sakes.
“I’m here to help” 🐮💩 You’re all about MONEY 😂😂😂
Man junkies are going wild now a days!
Jeff is definitely a huge help!!! I respect him and his channel!
I think my friends son is on this stuff ? I can’t find info about this drug . Her son is like early 30s ! But is there a cure for this zombie drug? I don’t know what this stuff is I’m 70 and completely ignorant about this stuff but I want to help my friend with her son because she like I don’t know anything about this stuff ? Any knowledge where we can get educated on this drug is greatly needed 🙏
Handing out items to help someone get high is not helping!!! That purple hair lady needs to be in jail for what she’s handing out !!!
I wounder how many of this ppl had there Dr cut them of there pain pills for chronic pain and ended up here 😢My heart breaks for everyone on drugs .💔
back when i was a kid in the 60's it was a shopping district and none of this stuff going on
Very educational and so sad 😢
Thank you
really interesting jeff nice to see u being interviewed also merry christmas
If you don’t want a be filmed stay off the streets !
Good job Biden.
Let's Go Brandon !!! Most popular president in history with 81 million votes !!! All while hiding out in his basement before the election !!!
the oligarchs that run the govt. want these people confined to a few streets in each city where they are contained and ignored. THIS NEEDS TO BE SEEN MORE NOT LESS. If a fellow american can make money and stay off the streets themselves as their own boss and not work for the man thats even better
Giving people drug paraphernalia has been enabling them to do drugs..
wait some are getting mad because some people are showing society what is going on in certain areas of society,meanwhile your giving them things to make it easier for the poor addicted person to keep doing it.thats real bright
You’re right I’m never planning to be anywhere near Kensington, but handing out drug paraphernalia doesn’t seem helpful in curbing the use of substances! I don’t see a problem with the posting of these RUclips videos, it’s a public service announcement as far as I’m concerned.
yep, a PSA to STAY AWAY from this 💩🕳
You are an angel for the work you do to help these people through your Savage Sisters Org. ♥♥♥
Sorry but I can’t stop watching. This is incredible and the visuals in the videos exploiting it are fascinating. Sadly there is no help for these people.
Thank you so much!
@@OliviaEmpson-mb9fu anytime glad I could help.
i fully agree...
