Kensington Philadelphia Drug & Crime Problems
Violent crime and drug abuse in Philadelphia as a whole is a major problem. The city’s violent crime rate is higher than the national average and other similarly sized metropolitan areas.1 Also alarming is Philadelphia’s drug overdose rate. The number of drug overdose deaths in the city increased by 50% from 2013 to 2015, with more than twice as many deaths from drug overdoses as deaths from homicides in 2015.2 A big part of Philadelphia’s problems stem from the crime rate and drug abuse in Kensington.
Because of the high number of drugs in Kensington, the neighborhood has a drug crime rate of 3.57, the third-highest rate by neighborhood in Philadelphia.3 Like a lot of the country, a big part of this issue is a result of the opioid epidemic. Opioid abuse has skyrocketed over the last two decades in the United States and Philadelphia is no exception. Along with having a high rate of drug overdose deaths, 80% percent of Philadelphia’s overdose deaths involved opioids2 and Kensington is a big contributor to this number. This Philly neighborhood is purportedly the largest open-air narcotics market for heroin on the East Coast with many neighboring residents flocking to the area for heroin and other opioids.4 With such a high number of drugs in Kensington, many state and local officials have zoned in on this area to try and tackle Philadelphia’s problem.
I lived in Philadelphia for 30+ years and never ventured into Kenso', good thing!! What a hell hole.
THAT CITY ONLY DRAGS, NO JOBS,THEY DONT HAVE FUTURE
Exactly! It was not happening in my rich white area.... so why should I care? Typical scumbag reply!
i was blinded i could not see that happening to myself i could not see myself with that needle in my arm or in that zombie like condition but one thing is for sure anyone can call on the name of jesus christ and get free from that life if you want it bad enough you will reach out and take hold of his word
Amen!!!! Where the Spirit of the Lord is there is FREEDOM because He came to set all of us captives free. So glad you made it out!
Clearly Jesus isn't doing a very good job with this lot is he? Perhaps he's busy over turning moneychangers tables or something.
Do you think they should legalize it so drug dealers are no longer in the equation? Legalizing it with pharm. grade heroin will maybe not remove the stigma of using it, but it will remove the dealers, won't it? If drug addicts are determined to use this risky mixture of fentanyl and unknown poisons, they are going to eventually die from it.
People need to be kept aware of what is happening these videos serve a purpose. Start putting it on national news bring it to everyone's living room. All the people will see the great tragedy that's happining.
I remember when I first went thru this area of Philly I thought how did we not know about this it's almost like they hiding it. They never thought us about these areas and open air drug markets in school.
This is happening every where just not such a large scale, very small towns, Nahum 3:1 Woe to the bloody city! it is all full of lies and robbery; the prey departeth not; (America is the bloody city, Slavery, extermination of Native Americans, countless wars, Oppression, hatred God is doing this) Isaiah 45:7 I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things. ( Isn't that evil, all these people stumbling around as in darkness, God did that).
THE MAYOR & GOVENOR OF THIS STATE SHOULD GET FIRED , !!!
It's a Federal problem because it's a national epidemic. States and cities are strapped with their own money problems, something this big can only be tackled by the US government that doesn't have limitations in spending or creating programs. It's beyond mayors and governors.
@@recycled3654 Major problems such as this need to be broken down state by state, it’s the starting point. It is indeed the Governor and Mayor’s responsibility. I’ve just looked who holds government and it’s Democrats, it’s no coincidence that whenever social issues get so completely out of hand it points back to Democrat areas.
I’m an Aussie who lives in Australia, an onlooker and my viewpoint is impartial. It saddens me to see these poor people living this way, help should be made easier, they obviously can’t help themselves no one deserves this.
I’ve travelled extensively through third world Asian countries and never seen anything this bad.
NO, why you blame them for own decision?
@Oli G thanks for the information. I was until your reply unaware of this. Surprise, surprise pharmaceutical companies somewhere near the root cause. Why am not surprised ?
@Oli G thanks, I’ll watch it. 👍🏻
Omg! I just can’t imagine the horror and sadness if one of these people were related to one of the viewers! I think this is heartbreaking!
There is currently a missing person who was last seen here June 18. I’m watching these to see if I see her
@@deirdrelooney7792 oh wow ! I hope you find her!
I know the citizens, of Philly, have to live in a constant state, of depression. You cannot think positive thoughts, and live a positive life, surrounded by such sadness. I’ve seen those videos, and, have been to Philly, many times (and will be going, this summer), and I’m always shocked, at the conditions, of certain parts, of this city.
You are correct Will. I was born and raised in Philadelphia, I left over twenty years ago at the age of 32, it was so depressing to see what was happening to my beautiful city, so much violence, homelessness, drugs, poverty, etc. There are so many things I miss but I am in a much better place mentally. Watching the poor people in these videos breaks my heart, Kensington was bad back in the day but it was not as horrific as it is today. My heart breaks for these lost souls.
Facts
@@lward65 I hear you, I left in "84. Philly became more foreign to me with each successive visit.
@@JesusLovesKaciemah Good luck, with that.
We are still here. Notice only police officer is a septa police. No social workers, nothing! Where's the money going. It's going to fatten politicians retirement and severance pay.
Who in the hell is parking there cars there?
Hope not it is the people in the streets.
Probably the dope dealers
Nobody knows. 👻
This isn't fair on the locals who work hard and try to stay away from drugs. I mean, what do you say to your little boy about drugs being bad when half the city is shooting up?
It’s hard but I hope that he will stay in the half of the city where there isn’t drug. In Kensington I think is impossible, for a family is better to go away from there.
It is a local problem whether that like it or not. "Not fair" is a joke. If you really gave half a damn, you'd already know it's bigger than what your little boy sees on the street or school yard. It's epidemic as you see in these videos, why can't you accept responsibility of a good citizen and realize the War of Drugs never worked. It's a healthcare issue and always had been.
When giving a 💩 goes out the door.
City of zombie...
They not zombies if all the cocaine sellers got taken away the place will improve
One thing is for sure, the driver is a stickler for putting his turn signal on.
Haven't heard the Mr. Softee song in 22 years, since I moved away.
I haven't heard it in decades - multiple decades, in fact. (orig. from SW Phila., another depressing part of the city that used to be nice, back around the time of Mister Softee).
Sad how many require someone else to shoot them up. I remember an older person telling me when I was just a pup that if I didn't know how to roll, I had no business smoking. Lol
Happy Fathers Day Kimgary and All!
Why doesn't the city do something??? Anything...
Are they ever going to move that black dumpster? It's really making the place look untidy
If they did, the price of real estate would go through the roof.
I’m seeing many black dumpsters
What editing software do you use? Very interesting and sad videos.
*If they made all drugs legal and free in Oregon, would all drug addicts move there and leave the rest of us alone?*
Funny how u need a permit for groups of ppl over 10
But these ppl gather everyday, are they getting permits??
Thank God the mayor put the extra tax on soda, that will help cuz less ppl will b standing around drinkn cold pops
I watch your movies regularly. I also watch other movies from the USA. I see a terrible degradation of people and infrastructure.
Greetings from Poland
Btw congrats kimgary for hitting 14k. Finna see lots of good content after this
@Paul Cohen father's day? dawg my dad passed away long time ago what celebration are you talking abt i ain't celebrating none lol
@Paul Cohen lmao my bad
That gravity must hit different on this street
É ASSUSTADOR 😔😔Q TRISTEZA MEU DEUS🇧🇷🇧🇷😔😔
I have never seen a place like that in Mexico, there are so many places like this in the USA, so much for the "best country in the world" americans should come to Norway and learn the real best country in the world
The drug addicts shoot up in the parks in Oslo ... they even provides clean needles for these people.. that's what I heard when I was there...I saw used needles near a underpass area near a railway ..
How long is this been going on how long are there peas places like this all over in every city
Happy deadbeat Dads day!!!!
i am from Africa , i wish i am in the usa ,one of the best country in the world, and lot of opportunity and work, i am praying to get usa visa to come and work, you are in the usa , see how you use drugs to destory your self ,
there are good and bad parts in every country, this place is one of the bad ones. Wish you luck to follow your dreams.
Life is what you make it no matter where you are in the world. Hope you achieve your dreams!
@@vickisibley5330 thank you for your advice
This type of lifestyle happens everyday it's not just philly alot of people come here then dont leave to go home some of you'll just haven't been caught yet judging these people pray for them dont judge you dont know gods plan for you and no I dont use drugs just saying it's not over for none of us still god says so and hes not ready for me yet.
You don’t get warnings from Him - when it’s over , it’s over.
Streets struck
There's is not an amount of money that make ever want too go too this disgusting place ill stay in the fly over states out in rural farming kansas
Everytime I watch these videos it reminds me horror movies I watched before, I see a lot of these addicts bent over did they lose something and can't find it on the ground
Such a well put together neighborhood 👏
this area should be cleared up theirs children living in this area these adults are lost which is realy sad they feed on drugs ad food some have a sad childhoods some have got into bad company they realy need help for those who ate willing to change their life
Я в шоке, в такой стране живи да радуйся ! В стране все условия созданы для жизни и развития, нет надо нариком стать!
When we reincarnate are we close to people that are alive that have been in that location where we begin for years so they can help us get in the door or are we stuck in the woods
0:59 here is a very explicit one
There's a new dance craze going down in Kensington PA.
It's called the Zombie Shuffle.
It's real easy.....'cos you can do it in any position you like, you can stoop, you can squat, you can be horizontal, it's easy 'cos it's freestyle!
Everything closed down
This absolutely Breaks my Heart. This is WORSE than, Afghanistan, Iraq, & Iran COMBINED! Third world countries are in poverty because lack of water, foods, & medications. There is NO EXCUSE WHATSOEVER for this to be happening in America... I am deeply saddened & educated now to something I never Dreamed existed in modern day America.
Everyone walking around like these just shat their pants
I wanna know who is the maniac driving around this area all day absolutely blasting fucking problems asap Rocky???!!?!!?👊🏽👊🏽👊🏽
Hey lets open up some pot stores - it will be good for the local economy!!!!!
This is okay but marijuana is not 100% legal
It needs to be 100% legal.
This is America...
No
Where is the government buildings
+Wonder what it looks like at night.
A Undisciplined Leader does not seem to care ,Nor does his Cohort of followers .
Que tipo de drogas es esa que pone a las personas como zombis y medio comemierda ??? Que pena y lastima ajena dan 🤦🏻♀️
...and all of the business owners...having to see/deal with all.of the loitering, trash, drug addicts, rancid smell and the multitudes of fast-talking wheeler-dealers going nowhere...fast!
Lord 🥺
How may zombies there fifty in two hundred people 😭hi from Australia
There’s no future for these young people there is no future how can there be a future nothing nothing absolutely nothing
T-shirts that’s all this country knows anymore is T-shirts you can see the mentality they’re lucky if they got their breaks my heart
This junkie City look like my hood it's crazy 😱😱😱😱😱😱
Alot of 🚬s being smoked
Still dont know what that big white building is at the park
Library
Those girls got to be so uncomfortable and all of that no clothes I should say no clothes they are that’s horrible feeling that kind a get up
ruclips.net/video/uT_eWmB1NrQ/видео.html/
much bigger problems are that these beautiful peoples not wearing FAce Mask and spreading the virus around the area.
Remember they all got into drugs by choice.Sad but now they have to deal with the consequences.
The Zombie Apocalypse is Amongst us.... This isn't necessary...😞😞😞
50+ years of Democrat run city. How are any of you not surprised…
OMG
Seeing lots of Biden shirts on these poor lost souls! Like he’s going to help any of them!🤣😕🤷🏻♂️
Land of the living dead. Sad!
As a side note: I’m surprised how many people drive around with their car stereos maxed out there. Here in Canada most people don’t do that out of respect for others and not wanting to look like a classless tool.
Sadly, not alot of respect in Philly for anyone. Can’t put your baby down for a nap with the windows open. There’s always music on full blast or someone reving their dirt bike or motorcycle all hours of the day and night.
The Most High God gave us commandments to keep, if you rebel this is what happens.1 Samuel 15:23 For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry. Because thou hast rejected the word of the LORD, he hath also rejected thee from being king.: (Witchcraft on their @$$.)
Send all this footage to the white house
Cricket...

Viva junkies republic.
All I keep on thinking news about the Godfather one sunny body was torn up look good they did to my boy look what they did to my boy,,

Zombies 🧟♂️🧟♀️🧟♀️🧟♂️ do exist 😲
Non si può vedere che schifo bastaaaaaaasasssaaaaa dateie foco a tuttiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii
Every major cities and small towns too. Drug epidemic…
I mean, buying drugs is good for the economy, we need people consuming something right?
junkie paradys
I see why Trump built the wall
...Mr Owl how many nasty junkies does it take to turn a neighborhood into a complete waste...!¿....
....lets see 1 ...yea just 1~
A complete waste are people who judge instead of being useful in the world.
@@thomasd1793
....like...then be Mr Great then...take ALL these junkies to Your house & tend to them & always never judge even ONE as they steal your life for dope... SHOW ME or STFU
Feel sorry for their lost souls?! LOL their souls were taken by the DEMON Lucifer, the 😈 there gone! Fo get about it 😂🤣😜😁

Liberal policies in action. I bet their rep doesn't even think to venture in that nieghborhood.
You're doing good work with these videos. More people need to do this in their cities.
Shine a light on this decay, let people see the blight and the dysfunction that politicians ignore and enable.
You kidding....this is what Democrats want! This is done by design or it wouldn't be this way.
@@j.rcoker9051 Why do you think I put the word "enable" in my comment?
@@j.rcoker9051 dimwit
@@j.rcoker9051 Yet Reagan Admin authorized CIA/Contra crack cocaine trading for guns deal, knowing crack was aimed at the American ghettos. STFU, you have no idea how it works or how to fix it.
@@electrolytics By enabling, you must be referring the the Senate that continues to block Healthcare reform or Universal Healthcare programs that would care for addiction and mental health in the US. You people have no idea on what the problems really are.
I can’t imagine the conversation when everyone is bent over
couple of jimmies and all ready to go easy picken's
"I just need a few, c'mon, you know I'm good for it..."
This is Larry Krasners Philly, It wasn't like this when Frank Rizzo was around. (Yeah, that guy whose statue they tore down.)
The stupidest thing is, these people chose to be like this.
People choose to be homeless ? I.dont think so.
@@musiclover5023 it's not homelessness or poverty. It's drug addiction.
Addiction is not a choice
@@jhon__1940 clearly that's the problem which is compounded by homelessness and the depression that goes with it.
Yes you can choose to be like this. I wouldn't choose to be a drug addict.
You do have a choice!
Welcome to the City of Brotherly Love
Anyone know what this Cricket store sells? There always appears to be a large group of junkies gathered round, wonder why?
Officially they sell dirt cheap pay as you go cell phones but I think they’re dealing out of there too.
@@BabyGirl-td6yn Those cell phones have a real kick to them! And I imagine the Mr Softy ice cream truck doesn't really have over 200 favors! LOL
Prophet Margin You know it!
Should get Cricket to sponsor the video's 🤣
They still around
@@2020Dreamlife it near impossible to watch a Kensington video without a driving past cricket.
Probably the only shop the Zombies don't sit outside 🤣
@@neilbethell2299 oh shit. The zombies. Hahahahahhahaha. Walking dead.
They gotta be able to get a hold of their dealers 🤷♀️
As for the prevoious drug epidemic: most of them will die, some will survive and the next generation will understand by growing up watching what happen to people who choose drugs.
There's a documentary on Philly that explains why this keeps happening in Philly. It's a curse so to speak. This is NOT new.
@@jviarruel do you know the name of it June?
No - they don’t learn from it , or very few do. If anything it seems to breed a new generation of addicts.
I think that's wishful dreaming, but it's the drug that hooks them onto n even if they are super aware of the consequences
@@jviarruel this is interesting, can you say the title please? I would like to watch it
I can't imagine using that check cashing store!
That check cashing store is there for a reason. It makes a fortune.
@Richard Joniec I live in Philadelphia and that area has always bad. What really is a shame is there's a hospital down the street from that corner.
One thing for sure, drugs don’t discriminate. White, Black, young, and seniors. I have never met a person that do drugs in person. I seen only on movies and on RUclips videos. They do it 24/7 scary just to walk near them. Must be depressing living there.
Trust me, you don't want to be around someone that's addicted
@@BamBabyBrenda in my office i bet half r drug addicts including my boss
I'm sure you've met folks on drugs, there just not this far gone...all walks of life and all ages... somewhere in your neighborhood, church, family....
Some stats have 1 in 5 people struggling with addiction. That’s 20% of the population. Granted not all are addicted to opiates, but addicts are closer than you think, many like myself hid it well.
Shooting Dope in the middle of the street is crazy this is wild
Horrible, very disrespectful
Right? Proof they have zero desire to clean up the streets. If I did that in my town, I'd be charged with possession and at the LEAST the drugs would be taken away. Why would they leave when they are fed, have a place to sleep and can freely use drugs? Very sad..
I can’t believe this is completely overlooked by the so-called police commissioner, mayor and D.A. which is insane.
@@bobholmes65 They know. Everybody knows. You can't kick criminals out in the street so you can fill jail cells with junkies. It's in healthcare.
Reminds me of Hastings street in Vancouver
GODDAAMN the puaher man
I say godam godam the pusher man

Looking at this video this must be one of the worst neighborhoods in the whole country
Mission in the Rain
(Garcia/Hunter)
I turn and walk away then I come 'round again
It looks as though tomorrow I'll do pretty much the same.
I must turn down your offer but I'd like to ask a break
You know I'm ready to give everything for anything I take.
Someone called my name you know I turned around to see
It was midnight in the Mission and the bells were not for me.
Come again, walking along in the Mission in the rain,
Come again, walking along in the Mission in the rain,
Ten years ago, I walked this street my dreams were riding tall
Tonight I would be thankful Lord, for any dream at all.
Some folks would be happy just to have one dream come true
But everything you gather is just more that you can lose.
Come again, walking along in the Mission in the rain,
Come again, walking along in the Mission in the rain,
All the things I planned to do I only did half way
Tomorrow will be Sunday born of rainy Saturday.
There's some satisfaction in the San Francisco rain
No matter what comes down the Mission always looks the same.
Come again, walking along in the Mission in the rain.
Your videos keep me humble. Thank you for all that you do.
Thanks for posting these tours. They’re hard to watch, but necessary to see. I struggle everyday, these help keep me clean and serve as a cautionary tale for anyone thinking of using. 🇨🇦 Peace.
Just having to listen to the crap-rap/hip hop music alone would drive me to...more drug usage. That, & having to look at all the overdone tattoos, sagging trousers &...filth! The only *possible* highlight? The "Mr. Softee" Ice Cream truck.
They're just living free, as long as they have a sidewalk to sleep on and drugs they're good.
Zombie life. They're dying actually. Look at all the new people from the suburbs going there to get high. Drugs are everywhere and as soon as people realize that all junkies don't look like these "down & outers" on Kensington St and growing. Maybe they just might see value in a system that cares to help instead of punish.
I swear the dealer in this community is a millionaire and he or she has destroyed this community
@Brandon Cruz I'm sure there is
I'm watching it and I wonder why there are so many white young people with drug addiction? I'm from Belarus.
That Ice Cream Truck ("The Big Worm") has to be a dealer. What percentage of the people in Kensington are addicts?
