I finally escaped that place this past June. It was absolutely horrific down there. A friend of mine lost her arm from the tranq and is still down there. I nearly lost my leg from it. The detox was out of this world. I’m back in college and have my own apartment now. I’m able to be there for my family and friends now instead of taking from them. I never want to go back.
They will always be some ones babies, no matter how old we get, they are our babies. Lord watch over everyone hurting tonight wrap your arms all people for comfort.

It will be to control what's left Of people..
@@contentKING123 Ask the globalists about that. There was a video with this title, but they deleted it from TH-cam. It was about people eating bugs, not owning anything and renting everything. You should look up the globalists and their plan.
10 years ago I was one of them...a junkie on the streets looking for my next dope hit to not be sick. I luckily got out and got clean and watching this now just makes me want to go out and save everyone :(
❤,Good on you Lyndz, I'm watching this from the UK,in the comfort of my little flat,I was stuck in addiction, Heroin, and everything else, except meth,and fent,hope you don't mind me asking,but we're you taking fent,if so is the sickness any worse,physically than Heroin, also I bet you want to help,but unfortunately unfortunately hands are tied, when you got clean I'm guessing it was your choice, no 1 wants to be amongst that world,even when we are in it,look after yourself, and pray for them,there's levels to life,and that lifestyle us just ON TOP,take care of yourself and may the good force be with you😢❤
You should not be saving people, there should be institutions for that, that should have also been there for you, but there's no dollars to be made in that, huh?
was out there myself in 2019,but in the UK.I think this will be a common sight on the streets here eventually,there does seem to be some link between the agendas being put forward by powerful people & the culling of the poor,the weak & sick.As you said,this could happen to anyone & as we know,it always gets worse.Thank god for sobriety.
@chaosandisorder68 hi I'm from the UK, do you gave any idea why the government is allowing this to get so bad,yes it can get worse,doesn't look that way,from where I'm sitting mind, we have problems over here,but it really is on another level ON TOP,so sad I just don't understand, there's 5o,driving past just letting it happen happen, it's like an island for the damned it's sad,and bad,God bless, everyone was once a child clean and pure, now look,it's like a green light to basically commit suicide, AWFUL 😢❤
Well done, mate, for being clean for 6 years. I take my hat off to you for doing so. Keep Faith in God, and he will see you through your cleansing of drugs. Sending you my congratulations from the United Kingdom 🇬🇧.
@@stuff1784 rehab only lasts for a few weeks, at least here in the Netherlands. And getting rid of an addiction, especially an opioid addiction takes a lot longer. For the brain it takes at least 3 years to adjust to having to go without the neurotransmitter coming from heroine or in this case fentanyl. From what I understand about the healthcare service in America I think it's pretty tough to get into a rehab facility so I guess it's almost impossible for a homeless, broke and probably not having a healthcare insurance to get help. It's a circle which is very difficult to get out of. Maybe it's better to ask why so many people are getting addicted in the first place and go from there.
⚠️WARNING ⚠️ Long Post Ahead With Many Questions. If Anyone Would Be Willing To Provide Their Perspective & Their Own Knowledge OR Experience I'd Be So Appreciative. Every profession in these areas has to be exhausted and overwhelmed. Paramedics, doctors, funeral homes, coroners, medical examiners, police officers, people who are trying to run a business and make a living, residents who live/work in these areas, mental health professionals, counselors, rehabs, safe houses, homeless shelters, street crews/city street cleaners (it looks so unkept), city workers, repair people who service these areas, bus drivers, taxi cab drivers, UBER drivers, parking ramp owners and operators, those who monitor camera systems and retrieve achieved footage for insurance claims, the court system, jails, judges, court reporters, any job pertaining to the judicial system, pastors, preachers, teachers, security personnel, ANYONE who enters these zones is unsafe! Everyone, even those who are homeless on these streets. I am not saying all of this to be derogatory, cruel, vile, nasty, or mean. I am actually trying to understand this 😢 When did it became so damn awful? Timeline? The overall history, specific to the area? Primarily what age group are those "living" on these streets? The Baby Boomers (born 1946-1964)? Gen. X (born 1965-1980)? Millennial's ( born 1981-1996)? What went wrong during these era's to cause a significant rise to homelessness/mental illness and illegal drug use? Is it how these people were raised as babies/children? Were a majority abused and are trying to escape their past? Born with pre-dispositions to mental illness/drug addiction? Lack of a mother or father - maybe both? Do many have PTSD from fighting in war? Is it lack of resources, educational opportunities, not having financial means/resources to live in housing and maintain a job? Job insecurity? Is it disability and not knowing how or where to apply/receive benefits and to contine applying, even if denied? Lack of proper medical care with a health problem which then leds them down this path of self medicating to self destruction? Lack of love, care, support from an early age? Neglect? Closing of nearly any/all mental health institutions and/or mental hospitals? Refusal of help from anyone? Denial? Financial? In no way am I excusing what they are doing and what they are NOT doing... just trying to understand IF anyone has looked into the WHY of it all???? All of the who, what, where, when, why, how questions. 🤔 The possible solutions? I understand everyone's situation is unique to them however there may be some patterns to learn from and gain perspective. This is becoming much worse, not better. It's unsettling, unnerving, disturbing, severely unhealthy, and alarming. 🚨 VERY ALARMING. 🚨During this video I caught myself holding my breath several times due to what I presume is anxiety, a feeling of unease... but I want to at least try to understand the root causes of this growing epidemic. Thank you in advance to anyone who read my long post and for providing any reasonable explanations to my questions? I'm mostly wondering if there is a pattern to this? Is there a #1 cause?
This is the first time a video left me with goosebumps at the end. The amount of untreated mental illness out there is absolutely out of control at this point. If that city doesn’t get a handle on that part of town soon, it’s going to become even more of a Warzone. Unreal Philadelphia.
The USA is living a mental health crisis. Healthcare is not affordable or easily accessible. Once Reagan shut down the state funded mental hospitals, it was a wrap for the USA.
What's strange is they normalize it. I was visiting there and asked my Uber driver about Kensington and the zombies, etc. He said Kensington is normal and no different than anywhere else. He was born and raised there and didn't travel to see that most of the US is NOT like that.
People should watch this before even trying drugs. I have been through a lot in my life molestation ,my 6 week old son passed away, my first son stolen never saw him again, and yet I cope , I have learned to look at things in a different light, I have told myself stronger soldiers are needed in Heaven and my baby was the strongest soldier I know, but took years to teach myself how to deal with a lot of things. I hope this can help someone I do not do drugs or drink. Prayers for all in this video Please ask for help sometimes a strangers words are just what some of us need. God bless! I am not strong by any means even I break down!

As a recovering alcoholic/addict, seeing people in that state makes me sad, angry, disappointed... Plenty of people thought I was beyond help. I came through it by a miracle. I hope the same can happen for them. I never did fentanyl or anything that strong, but it could've happened. I'm lucky. Our government needs to do something. First thing, no more fentanyl. Period. Tell china it's over.
Fentanyl is not coming from China anymore, it's cooked in America nowadays. Just as meth. What I wonder is why America has such a big problem with fentanyl, here in Europe it's not on the streets. Thankfully.
@@amorphousalienblobcome on man the biggest amount is coming from Mexico who gets it from china don't you read up on the Mexican cartels they have easy access to the united states they are killing other cartels for getting in their lane its a huge war in Mexico over this crap and lot of innocent people are being killed to the cops in Mexico are corrupt they back this stuff up to and payed at the border to help this shit travel.
SHIZZOTHEPRO your video's really show what's going on down there. It's a scary life these people live, and you show it. I'm a recovering addict. Clean since June 2006. And watching your video's reminds me how blessed I am to be out of it. Thanks for sharing these and stay safe. God bless you.
Omg. That was so heartbreaking. She couldn't get up by herself and waited for someone to help. Out there alone, it's cold and scary. Hope nothing happens to her. 😢. That life has got to be absolutely exhausting..
If. you investigated where are those drugs come from..i would say at least 90% of them are produced, sold and distributed by Chinese gangs. American polices should investigate and stop these criminal groups..
Something that stands out to me is seeing so many nice cars parked in the middle of chaos. I’m surprised the cars don’t get messed with. EDIT: Literally a minute after I commented I saw the broken window!
Nobody comes to Zombie Land to park a car to go anywhere around there. You take transit IF you have a reason to be there, get back on transit & get the *H** out The only people that usually have a car, has a store & there parked in the lot behind or right out front. What did he leave on the seat that could have gotten the junkie a hi? Dum on his behalf. If a junkie even broke it
People live in the area and work there, they offer help, food, etc. but what they r putting in the heroin is deadly, fentenal which is coming from China, pres. Biden just met with China leader and will see, just like Mexico they enter America everyday and now we have cartel in our country, they need to close our borders but they r not, our country is in bad shape not just here in phila. Every city and town in U.S. is going thru it😢
32:29 lady squat down to piss and couldn’t get up. Needed someone to help her get her naked butt to her feet. Not very dignified. If that was my mother I would ….

yo my man, thank you for putting this all together. showing life real and un-edited and you’re right, this isn’t for everyone…although it should be. these beautiful peeps dropped through the cracks of life, then dropped again and again and again then finally landed hard on the street.

I was in Philly while I was in the Navy back in 1982. I stayed there for a year while our ship was dry docked, getting overhauled in the shipyard at the end of Broad Street. It was a pretty cool city. It's very sad that the area is such a mess now.
It's just every city USA 😭 homeless population is booming why ? Idk ......however the mentally ill have not many places to go for shelter. There can be a lot of barriers as in they're state of mind if they are using many very many cannot afford medical help or medication . 😢
I know next to nothing about filming, but I immediately noticed the high quality of the camera that was used here. Crisp images and sharp color with no blurring. Of course the filmmaker's skill counts most, and it's evident.
@@carterfamilychannel I was getting high there in the 80's so it's definitely been a dump at least that long. They had the strongest and cheapest drugs. It was so well known people like me from CT went there specifically for the drugs.
I've heard some backlash by media/city governments who don't want people to see these kinds of images, glad you're bringing this into the light. Need more places out of the city to help dry out and get clean while getting productivity back in their lives and a safe place for all.

So much happening. I like how there is no narrative or interaction, SHIZZOTHEPRO . The scenario's played out speaks volumes on the sadness of Kensington
Are you acquainted with our super woke mayor ? He’s more interested in helping ukraine then Philadelphia,has the ukraine lapel on.Our soros appointed prosecutor has locked up more cops then felons.If a cop scratches a fleeing triple murder suspect in a stolen car hel be locked up with no bail so fast it will make their head spin so they just sit under a overpass or park somewhere so they can keep their jobs.That’s whats goin on.
Communities get the government they voted for. If these people are waiting on the city to solve their problems, they're going to have a long wait. Funny how illegals get housing, food, medicine, phones, and bussed to anywhere in the country they want to go, while citizens get to sleep on the sidewalks. Maybe the Democrat party has forgotten who they are hired to represent?
I know it was the Doppler effect in the night air as the truck passed, but its off-key tune sounded haunting, and seeing an ice cream truck (with innocent childhood connotations) in that grim crime-ravaged area was like spooky contrast in a film scene.
That guy is right across the street from Temple student housing. You have to be out of your mind to send your kid to Temple now- there's other schools better, cheaper, SAFER.
@@ronaldcolbert3918 yeah, close to Kenzo but I got a kick out of the people walking by with their kids in strollers pretending not to notice the clearly unstable man. And they're paying big bucks to live in those gentrified neighborhoods. You can't fix stupid.
Some of these ppl have no one its not everyone that chooses to be out there..i can't even imagine being in that position n getting out of it..its simple to say go to rehab but its a process n if someone has sores they need to be medically cleared ..n than if they make it to detox/rehab the withdrawals r horrible n if they get passed all that where do they come out ..back to the streets..its not impossible but its super hard n like i said if u have no one its extra hard . Being alone, homeless and addicted to something is probably the lowest point..ive watched hundreds of thease videos n interviews with thease ppl..yes some of em choose this but not all..i try to put myself in their shoes n i can't even imagine how hard it is..😢❤🙏
From Sydney Australia...it's a big city and to see a city become this...I mean I've seen Sydney streets be rough back in the early 90s but no where on earth anything like this. People are just lost without purpose or hope.
It’s called govt greed. They created this. They’re the ones at the top of the profit chain. All to make a dollar off of the demise of their own people. Wait for gods wrath. They will get it
I'm fighting back tears right now. How can a city just turn there back on these poor souls. I live an hour and half away from Philly. It brakes my soul knowing I'm so close yet powerless to help my brothers and sisters. If only God would grant just one of us with the ability to heal I'd spend the rest of my life healing but those are just wishes and dreams may are big brother Jesus walk with these beautiful lost,hurt people 🙏

Listen to the Police Scanner for the City closest to you. I listen to the Pittsburgh Police department Scanner every night and I can tell you it's a real eye opener for what is happening and for the cover up by the media to warn people about what is happening on the streets and how many people are dying from overdoses every day. The number of strokes every day of people of every age from late teens on up. And the amount of people having seizures from infants up, that before 2021 were unheard of. This Country is in trouble and We all better come together and try to fix it. Nobody is coming to save us. WE have to Save Ourselves. 💯🤔🤨🤬😰
@@epicbluerat9999 how many infants and 90 year olds did you hear of before 2021,are having seizures? Not one seizure, many seizures. I can tell you, I am getting my information from the Pittsburgh Police Scanner for the last ten years. And before 2021, you would get a few calls maybe a week for seizures. NOW minimum (20)911 calls a day for seizures and the numbers of young children and the very elderly are astonishing. If you don't believe it, listen for about a week. I am sure you would be shocked.
Jesus Christ the Lord has died for u and wants a relationship with u that's more fulfilling than any human can offer u he has been waiting for u more than u know an will begin to send the rite people to be in your life amen
What a strange perspective you have - make an effort to go and talk to people- there are so many lonely folks, just make an effort and you will make someone happy for a while - sorry your so alone
So much pain in the darkness of the streets and darkness of the soul. Dear God help them please God have mercy on all these lost souls. Mental anguish is running ranpid how horrible their lives are.
I’ve never done drugstore or have relatives that’s going through this , but I know it’s a disease of the mind ; I see so many blames on governments , my thing is who’s giving them the drug to start with ? 🤔. I’ve never see a politician knock on my door , with samples. To me it all starts home , the parents and whoever is around that child , better yet who they encounter 🤷🏾♂️. Those are such sad situations , because no kids want to be an addict homeless when they grow up .. Seeking help is one thing , great thing but blame someone who never meet you is another. This is all due respect to the victims of big Pharma, those folks are the victims of the government
I give what change, buy clothing, offer hugs. I live on a tiny pension in BC. 🙋🏻♀️🇨🇦 Trying to care more and more. God said help others even if little. I get $1110 a month before anything including a suite. Disability pension Level 1.😊
I just started watching your content. Dude at the end with the wrecked car is on his way to being a Kensington zombie. LOOKS like he's just getting started, I could be wrong. Like how you capture the FULL affects, without all the nonsense talking.
No he’s rich he wrecked his volvo high it happens all the time they hit parked cars its been happening since drugs came in the 80s.Your not from philly are you ? What he’s doing isn’t dangerous at all,most shootings are targeted sometimes innocents are shot.
@@antoineturner1606 Yeah,look close you can see he’s holding a needle and a white cord so he can get high again,and the person on the bikes trying to shake him down.Better get it out of their or it’ll be on fire by morning.
So sad, mental illness probably caused by childhood trauma... bad drugs, homelessness ~ equals a horrible mix of despair. I feel so much for these guys... is this situation hopeless ?? I wish they could get the help they need. I like the way there is no commentary and no judgement. Thank you @SHIZZOTHEPRO....
@@sarahconnor8189 nobody that counts, I guess, but every one of these souls had a mother, and I have seen them care for each other....and God smiles on them when they do that.......re-consider what you have said, as it will follow you for the rest of your life and beyond.
That ice cream truck part though. So creepy. Great artistic work with the slight playback speed reductuon tho. The sinister ambience is a nice touch too. This type of video art is good for us to see. It really captures the emotion and realism as well as context for the viewer. DON'T DO FETTY OR METH. A LOT OF METH IS FLACCA NOW. WHEN THE TWO ARE COMBINED FOR EXTENSIVE PERIODS IT CAUSES THE CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM TO GLITCH AND FAIL WHICH IS WHAT'S WRONG WITH THESE FOLKS WHO CAN'T SEEM TO HOLD THEMSELVES UP. SO SAD. PEOPLE WHO SELL THIS STUFF ARE A PROBLEM FOR SOCIETY. THE FACT THAT PEOPLE RESORT TO SELLING IS A PROBLEM IN ITSELF. SAD FOR THEM. PEOPLE WHO MAKE IT ARE A CANCER TO HUMANITY. GOD, EITHER HELP US OR TURN IT OFF.
There’s a video somewhere and it shows the dealers turning up each morning to hand out freebies. A small amount to either get the homeless people addicted and for the ones who are already addicted and need a small dose to stop the withdrawals. When the dealers turn up each morning, everyone just about runs to them before all the free drugs are handed out.
It's almost as if there used to be hospitals to care for the mentally ill in the USA. And it's almost as if someone decided it would be a good idea to close those hospitals down. So just imagine if that had happened, where would those people go? Now a large number of those mentally ill get to call the streets home.
Those State Hospitals do ONE thing really well. They get sick people off of the streets and out of our site. There is a reason, or probably several reasons why they were shut down though. State is always trying to cut costs. So you put these poor people in the Looney bin, you pump them full of other, even more exotic drugs, and you hire the cheapest labor force known to man to babysit these people. Next thing you know the State is being sued for every type of abuse and torture you can imagine. Just check out the corruption in our State/private prisons. Female inmates turning up pregnant, pounds of heroin in circulation. I don't think our Governor would even entertain the idea of State Looney bins with our terrible history on the subject.
@@joshuaedwards3322 Ronald Reagan deinstitutionalized mental healthcare during his presidency. Effectively dumping mental illness people on the streets or in jails. If you're from that era, you saw the immediate change after Reagan did that. Really sad because people were discharged on the streets with zero long-term mental healthcare, nor access to any long-term mental health care because mental health institutions were closed down. What Americans got were expensive, short-term outpatient care that was only affordable to the middle classed and rich. It got worse and worse and here we are!
The police don't care - they are just happy all of them are staying in the Kensington area, and not other parts of the city. They did the same thing in the city of Vancouver, Canada. All "these types" are banished to one part of the neighborhood - no police enforcement unless there is a crime involving violence.
The part where the ice cream truck(?) is playing it's playful bell tune was so freaking *CLOWN WORLD!* Totally surreal, as if an added back-audio track - but it was real - and it was absolutely crazy. The guy who hit that other car was obviously in no condition to drive, so he parks his car, leaves the lights on, takes his stuff and walks away after saying "I can't get caught with this." Every one of these stories are sad and the lady having her stuff stolen by that dude. She tried to fight him off and he kept pickin' and kept wearin' her down.
I follow a channel that goes and interviews these people down there and that creepy icecream song is in so many videos, it's always there. It's so creepy and haunting to hear that in the background, especially while you're listening to all these peoples stories
@@PrettyGhostX Do you know the name of the channel? I love watching the interviews. I watch a channel called soft white underbelly- he interviews on Skid Row
@@stephk.9618The name is AML Films, his name is Mal Lewis. He has had drug problems himself, now he's clean. He lived in an apartment in Kensington and started to interview people there. He lives somewhere else now because as you can imagine, it isn't the place that anyone wants to live. But he's very caring and their's many people he has interviewed and many comes back and does follow ups. Check it out
Yo no joke this video was done so well!! The dude running past ice cream truck music still playing was amazing I don't think I ever seen such a organic feeling video with great timing
I feel that man's pain in the beginning. I dropped my cell phone and it broke so I had to buy a new one and then two months later that one broke and then I bought a new one and it's already got a crack in it
In my drinking/drugging days I always locked myself away for weeks at a time in my house with all the curtains drawn and both telephones and doorbell disconnected,I don`t understand why these people want to do it in public.
Do you not understand what homeless is? Yeah, they all just left their mansions and came down to Kensington to get high in public. You think they want to be out in public? Most of them the streets IS their home. Believe me, nobody wants to sleep on a sidewalk in February. They have no other choice. You were just lucky enough to have a roof over your head. I swear, the freaking privilege some people have is ridiculous.
Has anyone noticed that before the war in Afghanistan we had a pill epidemic, we went to war in the middle east and suddenly heroin was cheap and everywhere. Once we ended the war and left Afghanistan ; heroin was swiftly and temporarily replaced by low grade Mexican tar. Until.... fentanyl miracolosly arrived and innondated the whole north America and Canada. Wonder why?
Not true. Heroin has been cheap and plentiful for decades and decades. Way before the Afghan war. Mexican tar is on the west coast. You don’t see that stuff at all on the East coast. Now it’s not heroin anymore anyway; it’s all fentanyl. You can’t even find heroin if you wanted to and if you did it’s not even strong enough because people are addicted to fentanyl which is 50-100 times stronger. People actually get disappointed when they get heroin if they have a fentanyl habit because it’s just like taking an aspirin.
@@dongall6224 and what policy is that? What is the name of the bill passed by congress that Biden signed says that the border is open? Or could it be that Congress has refused to agree to any sort of bipartisan comprehensive immigration reform which leaves Biden’s hands tied. Biden even reenacted Ttump’s Title 42 bill to immediately throw any illegal immigrants out of the country but it expired and Congress refused to pass any new legislation. Congress has also voted against giving more money to expand border security at the border, but okay, now tell me how it’s Biden’s fault when Congress is the one who has to pass any bills before it gets to his desk. It’s incredible how ignorant people are to how laws are passed. You might want to review the Schoolhouse Rock song again.
That’s my neighborhood my grandmothers both of them their houses are 6 and 8 blocks from Kensington and Allegheny. Like a lot of my friends oxy’s started it off few times a week then the addicted mind sets in. Took me 15 years to put down dope. I got 3 years off that shit and I don’t wish it on my worst enemy. I work for a treatment center and see all walks of life Rich not so Rich it don’t matter
Yeah, the good ole' chronic alcoholic seemed to have dried up and blew away. They looked bad, but at least they didn't have drug induced necrotising rotting wounds and flesh eating disease.
People act in a strange way on drugs, but few things from someone living in the south, comparing the drug place in the US with the city I live (Sao Paulo, Brazil): 1 - addicts in Kensigton are relatively well dressed, good shoes, some with very Ok shirts (saw that guy wearing a new Nike shirt, that in Brazil is something for the middle class & high) ... 2 - there are some businesses in the streets where the addicts stay - here, this would be impossible, addicts would create so much confusion, place would become dangerous and no client would go there. 3 - some people walking with babies and relatively nice cars in the streets - I would not recomend these 2 things here - walking alone would be a problem, with a baby a problem 100x bigger ... and would never drive a good car close to our drug places, unless it is bullet proof (and there are a lot of bullet proof cars here in the city) .... MY CONCLUSION ABOUT KENSINGTON: COULD BE WORSE.
This really hit me hard, he looks just like my brother who was addicted to drugs. Most days I say screw them, if they do it then they deserve what comes to them, but today it makes so sad. I wish people would see life as a gift and not throw themselves away. We all have hard times, but it's not our destiny to be struggling and dealing with things like this forever until death:(
Guessing your religious… Pressuring others to follow your beliefs and religious practices is why most atheists distance themselves away from religion. Your perspective on life’s meaning and purpose isn’t what everyone else is going to believe.
Omg stfu! No I’m not, just like you… I don’t like people pushing their religious and sexual agendas on me! I’m stating as a general person with empathy! Find some!!😒
So so depressing. All I can do is recite a Buddhist prayer.. May everyone be happy May everyone be free from misery May no one be ever be separated from their happiness May everyone have equanimity free from hatred and attachment
In my personal opinion. I have seen people stoned, or drunk. I have never seen people this damaged. They are probably beyond ever being a functioning, active, happy, self supporting citizen, ever AGAIN. They will never be able to hold a job. I should say, 90-95%.
Hey man idk you and you dont know me but honestly im in philly for a few days and i just wanna spend them helping as many of them as i can, thank you for your time and hard work shizzo!
This isn’t NEW. With social media, we just see it now. It’s sad it has gone on for so long. I remember these same basic things from the 80’s- over 40 years ago.
I am addicted for many years now. But I am glad I don't live in America because seeing the state of addicted people there is heartbreaking. Thanx that fentanyl is not on the streets here!
They are, for the most part, absolutely separate from each other. Drugs are about selfishness, that's what addiction is. Enough people like this and the government will be free to do exactly as it likes.

I finally escaped that place this past June. It was absolutely horrific down there. A friend of mine lost her arm from the tranq and is still down there. I nearly lost my leg from it. The detox was out of this world. I’m back in college and have my own apartment now. I’m able to be there for my family and friends now instead of taking from them. I never want to go back.

As an older woman all I can think is these people were someone's babies once. It's heart breaking.
They will always be some ones babies, no matter how old we get, they are our babies. Lord watch over everyone hurting tonight wrap your arms all people for comfort.

Congratulations on your sobriety I hope you stay strong and never go back to that place again
I can honestly say after 6yrs clean & sober,addiction does discriminate & I’ve learned to NEVER say “ it can’t get any worse “ believe me , it can.
Doesn't discriminate *
was out there myself in 2019,but in the UK.I think this will be a common sight on the streets here eventually,there does seem to be some link between the agendas being put forward by powerful people & the culling of the poor,the weak & sick.As you said,this could happen to anyone & as we know,it always gets worse.Thank god for sobriety.
@chaosandisorder68 hi I'm from the UK, do you gave any idea why the government is allowing this to get so bad,yes it can get worse,doesn't look that way,from where I'm sitting mind, we have problems over here,but it really is on another level ON TOP,so sad I just don't understand, there's 5o,driving past just letting it happen happen, it's like an island for the damned it's sad,and bad,God bless, everyone was once a child clean and pure, now look,it's like a green light to basically commit suicide, AWFUL 😢❤
Well done, mate, for being clean for 6 years. I take my hat off to you for doing so. Keep Faith in God, and he will see you through your cleansing of drugs. Sending you my congratulations from the United Kingdom 🇬🇧.

Can you imagine how exhausted the paramedics are? 😢
Can you imagine how exhausted addicted people are? 😢
@@amorphousalienblob Yes, but they won’t go to rehab so what can you do
@@stuff1784 rehab only lasts for a few weeks, at least here in the Netherlands. And getting rid of an addiction, especially an opioid addiction takes a lot longer. For the brain it takes at least 3 years to adjust to having to go without the neurotransmitter coming from heroine or in this case fentanyl. From what I understand about the healthcare service in America I think it's pretty tough to get into a rehab facility so I guess it's almost impossible for a homeless, broke and probably not having a healthcare insurance to get help. It's a circle which is very difficult to get out of. Maybe it's better to ask why so many people are getting addicted in the first place and go from there.
Good shout brother, I'm in the UK, I'm just speechless to what is going on out there,good luck to you and all you love 😢❤
⚠️WARNING ⚠️
Long Post Ahead With Many Questions. If Anyone Would Be Willing To Provide Their Perspective & Their Own Knowledge OR Experience I'd Be So Appreciative.
Every profession in these areas has to be exhausted and overwhelmed. Paramedics, doctors, funeral homes, coroners, medical examiners, police officers, people who are trying to run a business and make a living, residents who live/work in these areas, mental health professionals, counselors, rehabs, safe houses, homeless shelters, street crews/city street cleaners (it looks so unkept), city workers, repair people who service these areas, bus drivers, taxi cab drivers, UBER drivers, parking ramp owners and operators, those who monitor camera systems and retrieve achieved footage for insurance claims, the court system, jails, judges, court reporters, any job pertaining to the judicial system, pastors, preachers, teachers, security personnel, ANYONE who enters these zones is unsafe! Everyone, even those who are homeless on these streets.
I am not saying all of this to be derogatory, cruel, vile, nasty, or mean. I am actually trying to understand this 😢 When did it became so damn awful? Timeline? The overall history, specific to the area?
Primarily what age group are those "living" on these streets? The Baby Boomers (born 1946-1964)? Gen. X (born 1965-1980)? Millennial's ( born 1981-1996)?
What went wrong during these era's to cause a significant rise to homelessness/mental illness and illegal drug use? Is it how these people were raised as babies/children? Were a majority abused and are trying to escape their past? Born with pre-dispositions to mental illness/drug addiction? Lack of a mother or father - maybe both? Do many have PTSD from fighting in war? Is it lack of resources, educational opportunities, not having financial means/resources to live in housing and maintain a job? Job insecurity? Is it disability and not knowing how or where to apply/receive benefits and to contine applying, even if denied? Lack of proper medical care with a health problem which then leds them down this path of self medicating to self destruction? Lack of love, care, support from an early age? Neglect? Closing of nearly any/all mental health institutions and/or mental hospitals? Refusal of help from anyone? Denial? Financial?
In no way am I excusing what they are doing and what they are NOT doing... just trying to understand IF anyone has looked into the WHY of it all???? All of the who, what, where, when, why, how questions. 🤔 The possible solutions?
I understand everyone's situation is unique to them however there may be some patterns to learn from and gain perspective.
This is becoming much worse, not better. It's unsettling, unnerving, disturbing, severely unhealthy, and alarming. 🚨 VERY ALARMING. 🚨During this video I caught myself holding my breath several times due to what I presume is anxiety, a feeling of unease... but I want to at least try to understand the root causes of this growing epidemic.
Thank you in advance to anyone who read my long post and for providing any reasonable explanations to my questions? I'm mostly wondering if there is a pattern to this? Is there a #1 cause?
This is the first time a video left me with goosebumps at the end. The amount of untreated mental illness out there is absolutely out of control at this point. If that city doesn’t get a handle on that part of town soon, it’s going to become even more of a Warzone. Unreal Philadelphia.
The USA is living a mental health crisis. Healthcare is not affordable or easily accessible. Once Reagan shut down the state funded mental hospitals, it was a wrap for the USA.
I think it’s more of a drug problem than a mental illness problem
👍
In the US all the poeple have mental illness,, racism obesity, no normally health care, stupid fake tv programs here in europe
The crazy part is that ppl vote for this shit, and when they see it in real life they move to away.
If this isn’t the Zombie Apocalypse, I don’t know what is 🫣 and yet life just goes on around them
What's strange is they normalize it. I was visiting there and asked my Uber driver about Kensington and the zombies, etc. He said Kensington is normal and no different than anywhere else. He was born and raised there and didn't travel to see that most of the US is NOT like that.

I hope this can help someone I do not do drugs or drink. Prayers for all in this video Please ask for help sometimes a strangers words are just what some of us need. God bless! I am not strong by any means even I break down!

Something that stands out to me is seeing so many nice cars parked in the middle of chaos. I’m surprised the cars don’t get messed with. EDIT: Literally a minute after I commented I saw the broken window!

People live in the area and work there, they offer help, food, etc. but what they r putting in the heroin is deadly, fentenal which is coming from China, pres. Biden just met with China leader and will see, just like Mexico they enter America everyday and now we have cartel in our country, they need to close our borders but they r not, our country is in bad shape not just here in phila.

So just imagine if that had happened, where would those people go? Now a large number of those mentally ill get to call the streets home.
Those State Hospitals do ONE thing really well. They get sick people off of the streets and out of our site. There is a reason, or probably several reasons why they were shut down though. State is always trying to cut costs. So you put these poor people in the Looney bin, you pump them full of other, even more exotic drugs, and you hire the cheapest labor force known to man to babysit these people. Next thing you know the State is being sued for every type of abuse and torture you can imagine. Just check out the corruption in our State/private prisons. Female inmates turning up pregnant, pounds of heroin in circulation. I don't think our Governor would even entertain the idea of State Looney bins with our terrible history on the subject.
Two words.....Ronald Reagan!
@@Allhoney33 what does that even mean?
@@joshuaedwards3322 Ronald Reagan deinstitutionalized mental healthcare during his presidency. Effectively dumping mental illness people on the streets or in jails. If you're from that era, you saw the immediate change after Reagan did that.
Really sad because people were discharged on the streets with zero long-term mental healthcare, nor access to any long-term mental health care because mental health institutions were closed down. What Americans got were expensive, short-term outpatient care that was only affordable to the middle classed and rich. It got worse and worse and here we are!
Great content! Please more this is the best photoaged of Kensington!
So many Humans live in misery, if you're not one of them then count it as a blessing
This misery has always existed. We are more aware of it than previous generations because we can personally document it via cellphones.
You’re a brave man for venturing out like this, especially at night. Where are the police?
at Dunkin' Donuts or Krispy Kremes
The police don't care - they are just happy all of them are staying in the Kensington area, and not other parts of the city. They did the same thing in the city of Vancouver, Canada. All "these types" are banished to one part of the neighborhood - no police enforcement unless there is a crime involving violence.
That's the million dollar question... Because They are getting PAID ...🤔...ALL OF THE CORRUPTION.😡
The police are instructed not to mess with them, but in emergencies, or a large drug bust. There are articles online that will fill you in on it!!
Making sure rich people feel safe
Discreet and great shooting angle. I wish you luck and more subscribers! Greetings from Croatia :)
The part where the ice cream truck(?) is playing it's playful bell tune was so freaking *CLOWN WORLD!* Totally surreal, as if an added back-audio track - but it was real - and it was absolutely crazy. The guy who hit that other car was obviously in no condition to drive, so he parks his car, leaves the lights on, takes his stuff and walks away after saying "I can't get caught with this." Every one of these stories are sad and the lady having her stuff stolen by that dude. She tried to fight him off and he kept pickin' and kept wearin' her down.
Dude that ice cream truck scene was amazing
I follow a channel that goes and interviews these people down there and that creepy icecream song is in so many videos, it's always there. It's so creepy and haunting to hear that in the background, especially while you're listening to all these peoples stories
@@PrettyGhostX Do you know the name of the channel? I love watching the interviews. I watch a channel called soft white underbelly- he interviews on Skid Row
@@stephk.9618The name is AML Films, his name is Mal Lewis. He has had drug problems himself, now he's clean. He lived in an apartment in Kensington and started to interview people there. He lives somewhere else now because as you can imagine, it isn't the place that anyone wants to live.
But he's very caring and their's many people he has interviewed and many comes back and does follow ups.
Check it out
Yo no joke this video was done so well!! The dude running past ice cream truck music still playing was amazing
I don't think I ever seen such a organic feeling video with great timing
I feel that man's pain in the beginning. I dropped my cell phone and it broke so I had to buy a new one and then two months later that one broke and then I bought a new one and it's already got a crack in it
stop being clumsy
You’re the best coverage of the Fetty pandemic; your shots are amazing thank you for your work!
In my drinking/drugging days I always locked myself away for weeks at a time in my house with all the curtains drawn and both telephones and doorbell disconnected,I don`t understand why these people want to do it in public.
They don't want to. Well I'm sure some prefer being homeless but most don't have the choice nor luxury of locking themselves away in their home.
American Drug Narcomafia Gang Corporation
😡😡😡
Oh the maid was in the house that weekend
Do you not understand what homeless is? Yeah, they all just left their mansions and came down to Kensington to get high in public. You think they want to be out in public? Most of them the streets IS their home. Believe me, nobody wants to sleep on a sidewalk in February. They have no other choice. You were just lucky enough to have a roof over your head. I swear, the freaking privilege some people have is ridiculous.
Same I would never ever feel confortable doing drugs in the streets like this glad I’m sober
Has anyone noticed that before the war in Afghanistan we had a pill epidemic, we went to war in the middle east and suddenly heroin was cheap and everywhere. Once we ended the war and left Afghanistan ; heroin was swiftly and temporarily replaced by low grade Mexican tar. Until.... fentanyl miracolosly arrived and innondated the whole north America and Canada. Wonder why?
Heroin was cheap and plentiful in Kensington since the 60's. Although it was also a Asian war that helped it get here.
Not true. Heroin has been cheap and plentiful for decades and decades. Way before the Afghan war. Mexican tar is on the west coast. You don’t see that stuff at all on the East coast. Now it’s not heroin anymore anyway; it’s all fentanyl. You can’t even find heroin if you wanted to and if you did it’s not even strong enough because people are addicted to fentanyl which is 50-100 times stronger. People actually get disappointed when they get heroin if they have a fentanyl habit because it’s just like taking an aspirin.
You could start by considering biden's open border policy.
@@dongall6224 and what policy is that? What is the name of the bill passed by congress that Biden signed says that the border is open? Or could it be that Congress has refused to agree to any sort of bipartisan comprehensive immigration reform which leaves Biden’s hands tied. Biden even reenacted Ttump’s Title 42 bill to immediately throw any illegal immigrants out of the country but it expired and Congress refused to pass any new legislation. Congress has also voted against giving more money to expand border security at the border, but okay, now tell me how it’s Biden’s fault when Congress is the one who has to pass any bills before it gets to his desk. It’s incredible how ignorant people are to how laws are passed. You might want to review the Schoolhouse Rock song again.
What is fentanyl?
The ice cream truck is so creepy watching these videos
Yeah the ice is meth
It's like something out of a David Lynch movie.
@@alexpowers5117lol
That’s my neighborhood my grandmothers both of them their houses are 6 and 8 blocks from Kensington and Allegheny. Like a lot of my friends oxy’s started it off few times a week then the addicted mind sets in. Took me 15 years to put down dope. I got 3 years off that shit and I don’t wish it on my worst enemy. I work for a treatment center and see all walks of life Rich not so Rich it don’t matter
Kensington addict demographic absolutely changed over the year's.
Yeah, the good ole' chronic alcoholic seemed to have dried up and blew away. They looked bad, but at least they didn't have drug induced necrotising rotting wounds and flesh eating disease.
I can’t stand those idiots on dirt bikes, they caused so much accidents.
It seem like they own the streets..
@@Outdoor-Adventures exactly, they think they are so cool , they are a bunch of jerks, I can’t stand them.
They do own the streets. When they are around. 🏍
Old ladies or gentlemen driving who should not, teens without care, foreign non English drivers piss me off. Humans in general.😅
People act in a strange way on drugs, but few things from someone living in the south, comparing the drug place in the US with the city I live (Sao Paulo, Brazil): 1 - addicts in Kensigton are relatively well dressed, good shoes, some with very Ok shirts (saw that guy wearing a new Nike shirt, that in Brazil is something for the middle class & high) ... 2 - there are some businesses in the streets where the addicts stay - here, this would be impossible, addicts would create so much confusion, place would become dangerous and no client would go there. 3 - some people walking with babies and relatively nice cars in the streets - I would not recomend these 2 things here - walking alone would be a problem, with a baby a problem 100x bigger ... and would never drive a good car close to our drug places, unless it is bullet proof (and there are a lot of bullet proof cars here in the city) .... MY CONCLUSION ABOUT KENSINGTON: COULD BE WORSE.
We have bleeding hearts here that keep them fed and clothed so the addicts can save their cash for The Priority: dope.
And the way democrats are leading our major cities down the toilet are doing their best to make your prophesy come true.
@@eyeoftheleopardleopard8829 why cannot they stop this addiction?
The priority seems to be foreign aid and illegal aliens, while this type of misery spreads across the nation
Well,weve had this problem for decades...glad you just recognized it
World. Not just Americans suffer this plight Hun. 🇨🇦👍🙋🏻♀️
Absolutely insane this video needs more awareness 😮
This is one of hundreds of Kensington videos
@@nyccollin👍👏
@@nyccollinnone of them are that good and realistic..
This is reason why some country have death penalty for drug trafficking.
This really hit me hard, he looks just like my brother who was addicted to drugs. Most days I say screw them, if they do it then they deserve what comes to them, but today it makes so sad. I wish people would see life as a gift and not throw themselves away. We all have hard times, but it's not our destiny to be struggling and dealing with things like this forever until death:(
Life is a gift, but good jobs can be hard to come by and dirty corporate politics dominate. So what is a man to do? Gotta keep fighting..
Guessing your religious… Pressuring others to follow your beliefs and religious practices is why most atheists distance themselves away from religion. Your perspective on life’s meaning and purpose isn’t what everyone else is going to believe.
Omg stfu! No I’m not, just like you… I don’t like people pushing their religious and sexual agendas on me! I’m stating as a general person with empathy! Find some!!😒
This is insane!! 🙏🏾
Motorcycles just run the red light and the motorists have to take it 😂😂😂😂😂😂
I saw that too! 😃 🤣
It's bad enough to be homeless but even worse if your out of your mind.
Das mag vielleicht so sein, aber....wer den Verstand verliert, der nimmt das Elend nicht mehr wahr....was ist nun besser?
Ich weiß es nicht!
This was brilliantly filmed and edited...keep up your stellar work. ❤
So so depressing.
All I can do is recite a Buddhist prayer..
May everyone be happy
May everyone be free from misery
May no one be ever be separated from their happiness
May everyone have equanimity free from hatred and attachment
I pray to our creator. Not a man. God. Buddah was just a guy. No diss. Just fyi. Buddah is not the Creator.😊
@@PPaxP You believe your fairy tale, they believe theirs. No harm
Damn! There is lost and then there is LOST!
I'm speechless..what have I just watched?? why isn't this National news??
Because the mainstream media is in denial!!
It's been on the news, terrible epidemic.
In my personal opinion. I have seen people stoned, or drunk. I have never seen people this damaged. They are probably beyond ever being a functioning, active, happy, self supporting citizen, ever AGAIN. They will never be able to hold a job. I should say, 90-95%.
No they are not. Many post this fact.😊
Dont total your car down in Kensington!! LOVED the analogy 👌 😮
thank you for helping that lady bro
Thank you Pres. Xi, for all the goodies!!
God bless these people! I hope they find peace. Aloha from Hawaii...
Please help these people America! They are someone’s baby, son, daughter, mom, dad , brother, sister, what is wrong with this country, makes me sad 😢
Hey man idk you and you dont know me but honestly im in philly for a few days and i just wanna spend them helping as many of them as i can, thank you for your time and hard work shizzo!
❤ This is awful , what a Nightmare that you dont wake up from 😢
Its so sad to see normal people scared to just exist
Those guys on quads and motorbikes are dealers?
Probably, and also look for crowds of them busily gathered around with big smiles, probably a dealer there.
Imagine owning property here. I would be livid at how this is allowed to go on. Sickening.
This isn’t NEW. With social media, we just see it now. It’s sad it has gone on for so long. I remember these same basic things from the 80’s- over 40 years ago.
I am addicted for many years now. But I am glad I don't live in America because seeing the state of addicted people there is heartbreaking. Thanx that fentanyl is not on the streets here!
That fool said, "Sir you gotta gimme $20 or im gonna take everything from you."
Sht gave me NYC flashbacks. LOL!
And people call me crazy for wanting to live in the middle of know where away from any city yeah I'm the crazy one
They are, for the most part, absolutely separate from each other. Drugs are about selfishness, that's what addiction is. Enough people like this and the government will be free to do exactly as it likes.
