As a former meth addict, living on the streets of Oakland Cali in the 80s…I’ve been off it for 37 years! Started at the age of 15, because I didn’t know how to deal with overwhelming feelings. It helped me cope, or so I thought! Got down to 90lbs and eventually overdosed. I was lucky enough to have very caring grandparents whom saved my life. Please don’t condemn these lost souls. You truly don’t know their pain. I’m 53 now, raised a son as a single mom. Have a successful salon and my son is thriving- he graduated college on the Deans list! I’m not bragging, at all. Just sharing a small part of my story, cuz there is HOPE!!! And if I can do it… so can ANYONE!!! God Bless. Peace ✌🏻
What pains could they suffer more than Yemen, Syria, Ukraine who are in the throes of war and conflict??? You won't see this apocalyptic imagery there! Even in the African cities who the narcissistic trump called shittthole countries, don't have such vile human misery on show in public! America is an overwhelmingly indulgent society! America thinks it knows too much, till it knows nothing at all! It is an accursed land! 🇳🇬👊🏾
yo diria mas bien penoso,pues no es tan fiero el leon como lo pintan y estas personitas mas que miedo dan lastima,pues no ven otra salida y lo cojonudo es que no la hay,solo hay que mirar a quien gobierna el pais"CREO QUE ESTAN PEOR QUE ESTOS POBRECITOS INDEFENSOS" ¿para esto van muchos de ellos a luchar por su pais fuera deEEUU?que le den porculo a la sociedad,no merece la pena luchar por nadie que te deja en la estacada (A ESTA GENTE HAY QUE SALVARLA POR LO CIVIL O POR LO MILITAR se merecen vivir igual que tu y yo SALUDOS
I was trying to put a name to this seen I am watching and you hit the nail on the head... Dystopia is IT.. OH AND WHAT ABOUT THE ICE CREAM TRUCK MUSICAL IN THE BACKGROUND!!!!🤪
I say this not as a man, not as a British citizen but as a human being this is offensive on every level! how can the American politicians live with themselves! You cannot call yourselves civilised if you allow your fellow brothers and sisters to live like this! Awful truly awful.
You have to remember about half of Americans like seeing this, and think these people deserve it. They want homelessness and addiction and the threat of incarceration to always be present as a tool to keep the lower classes divided. Don't overlook the impact of narcissism and sociopaths.
This is an open-air asylum as well as a death camp on the streets. Seeing people actually sleep on urine-soaked sidewalks, living in garbage, and standing in a stooped-over position for long times is ghastly. They are all vulnerable to whatever threatens them. What people will do to be able to take their drug of choice and not even think twice about the hostile conditions they subject themselves to. My heart breaks for all of them, I pray for a miracle, these are someone's children and relatives at their lowest point.
Thank you for that. I was hooked on that stuff here in Indiana and realized I was at deaths door, realized I was about to die and I was okay with that because I knew it would be a way out. When I realized that I was going to die, I decided to ask for help, told my family what was going on, and got myself treatment. Ive been clean since july 12, 2023.
@@lazybelphegore6748 I am so happy for you! I know it takes a lot to get off anything. I was addicted years and years ago and I was at death's door as well. I looked at myself in the mirror and believe me pretty wasn't staring back and it made me sick and scared. I have been clean since '87 and never did it again. God bless you friend and I am going to pray for your strength and continuous good health. You did the right thing!
‘Open air asylum and death camp’ is the absolutely best way I’ve heard it describe. If someone was explaining this place to me, I would never have believed them, especially the part about law enforcement strewn about not seeming to do much.
😢😢😢my eldest son lost his battle against colon cancer 6 years ago! I sell every thing i had and move to a caravanpark and stay there for 8 months till his last day! I was with him every day, never left his side! This is just as bad as cancer,😢😢 if it was i child land in a situation like this, i will do the same thing to help him or her to get over this!😢😢i will never leave my child on the street! 😢❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
As a former meth coke and alcohol addict, I’ve been homeless, jailed, shunned by friends and family. 8 years clean now! I have hope and I pray for everyone suffering with addiction! I pray the way out presents itself and you all have the strength to take the leap and hold strong! Many blessings!! Aloha!!!
Depends where you live. Many without jobs qualify for government assistance when it comes to detox and rehab. There are many areas where they wouldn't pay a dime.
With the exception of prescription drugs, no one forced these people to initially engage in drug usage. I say this as a formerly homeless person who never drank or did drugs!
I have lived in Maine, New York, Delaware, Texas, and Pennsylvania. Last year, I had the opportunity to work to expand myself to Philadelphia. The contract was for a year, but I only lasted six months. I don't know whether to praise you or to scold you for exposing yourself to that danger. The drug epidemic affects everyone living there: children, young people, adults, and the elderly. It not only affects drug addicts but also all the residents of that big city, economically, mentally and psychologically.
The Politicians that sit in their Ivory Towers should feel ashamed of themselves.. Instead of spending billions on a war that has nothing to do with them use the money to sort the mess that's going on in your own country.. Absolutely disgusting
Money throwing is not going to solve this deep multi-layered problem with American society. These people who are strung out on the streets of Philly and other metropolitan areas are the direct result of Darwinism and atheistic teachings in the academia of American school systems from kindergarten on up. God has been removed. Drugs have been taken to fill the void of atheism. This is an atheist country, my friend. This is what happens when a nation forgets GOD. Plain and simple. This assault on the white and black nuclear family began in the 40's. The black family has suffered second to the Native American nuclear family unit, which is all but completely and utterly destroyed if not non-existent in 2023. The NAI and the destruction/removal of his culture can offer us a glimpse as to the future of the rest of American society in the next five years. The spiritual culture and belief system was destroyed in the American Indian tribes across America and replaced with drugs and alcohol. Now that the planned for decades destruction is taking down the Caucasian, it is now an emergency that has to be stopped with the almighty dollar according to you. Money can't cure this ill. When it was happening to us, nobody cared. Welcome to the rez.
I went to college in Philadelphia 40 years ago. I can’t believe my eyes. I’ve never seen living people in such a state of decay. The paramedics who go to work in these conditions are amazing.
My parents met at PCA and I was born there in ‘81. I now understand why they moved me to my Dad’s home state of Maine when I was little. The worst parts of Maine are better than the best parts of Philly. Sad 😢
it looks like they are frozen, sleeping while they are trying to light a sigaret or trying to pick up something from the ground, just standing halfway from what they are trying to do for minutes in the same position! SILLY!!! @@ronneyrendon5045
I’ve travelled all over the world in my 73 years but I’ve never seen the heartless way that the USA treats the people that fall through the cracks in society ,
Obviously you haven't been in Brazil or the Philippines or South Africa, I have and bull💩💩💩💩 to your comment, no other countries provides food stamps and medical health insurance like America so your blowing hot air out of your ass !!!!
The entire country shut down for Covid, yet this shit continues, turning our communities into a video game style zombie filled landscape. It is heartbreaking.
I know!! Looking Like A 3rd world Country.trash Everywhere.they don't keep the streets Clean And neat where they call home And sleep. Thank !! You !! Jesus I don't Live out !! There!! And I would not!! Want to Even if I don't have a place to Live I would Live in shelter not on the streets in that unsafe dangerous Location in Kingston Philadelphia.
We can and DO recover. Only things I needed to change were all of them: playmates, playpens, and playthings. I'm a Philly girl living in downtown Portland. Just over 10 years ago I had a relapse after 30 years dry. Came to learn MY WAY DID NOT WORK!!! So I tried again, with lots of changes and achieving small goals. Hardest thing I ever did. But I lived through my worst nightmares and was spared for whatever reason. Have faith, help others, do the next right thing. If we learn to do this, we can recover.❤
@@Alpacabowl98 community/people, healthy places to interact with them in fulfilling ways, hobbies/events/possessions that bring joy and fulfillment.. That would be my guess
That was super nice to give the man at 22:32 some $ and he seemed very appreciative. Thank you for helping him out. Looks really desperate out there. Depressing af
Im off dope n meth 3 years yesterday! Im from down there. was homeless 8 years in kenzo. ripping and running. That shit got dark man. Ive done horrible things to get one more. Today I hold my own. I'm pursuing a career in helping those that were like me. If I could stop one person from going back out its all worth it. Edit: Covid changed everything man. After those riots there was no hope for that area. Theres no simple answer that tranq is an animal. I was big into meth my last run so i was only doing dope enough to mellow out my meth high. so i had a habit but it wasnt as bad as i normally gotten. i have a few wounds from the zylazine. Thank god I Didnt lose any limbs like some folks out there :( so sad
I'm just curious what kind of riots there were? I hadn't heard about them. Definitely glad you made it out brother I just try to imagine myself being in that place and it's so dark.
@sebastianabshire7858 down the way in kensington they ransacked every store then in center city they tore up walnut n chestnut. It was from the George Floyd situation
@@bradleysmith9431 Reopen all the medical facilities and mental institutions, that have been closed, because a lot of these people suffer from psychiatric issues. How much does the government spend on its military and defence budget, rescuing financial institutions and else?. The money is there, but it is not being allocated. The dirtbags who are running the show, have priorities, and you, I and the rest of the population, are no part of it.
To see this going on in the 21st century is horrific. All these people started as beautiful innocent little babies, what dreadful things must have happened for them to become this. Makes me cry to see them so
@@galegrazutis964I thank God that you are strong enough to withstand all of the slings and arrows that life throws at us and that you will NEVER succumb to what we hv witnessed here. I praise God for your strength! 🙏🏽🙏🏽
@@beekind6267 thats so true. Life also took me completely by surprise after my wife met a new man during rehabilitation after surviving cancer and chemotherapy. I've lost almost everything. My home, my work (I had to move, I couldn't bear to see my old family with the new man), my children, my animals, basically everything. Then there was the malicious behavior of my wife, when it came out about the new man she made fun of it and became abusive. And that was a year ago. A year full of desperation, helplessness, sadness and meanwhile also a bit of anger. Despite everything, I manage to go to work every day and to be able to live my new life to some extent, even if I'm anything but satisfied. But it can also happen very quickly that your feelings paralyze you and make you so helpless that you can no longer cope in life. And there are probably even worse things than what happened to me. i never run so many tears in my whole life than in the last year.
This is worse than any so called Third World country. The filth and human suffering in the supposedly riches country in the world is a specific kind of shameful inhumanity that hardly exists anyplace else on earth. I've been to slums in Kenya, Brazil Mexico etc.. and at least there, you have families working together with an abundance of love. This American hell hole is devoid of anything good, and to me it represents the ultimate purpose of Capitalism to grind ones soul into the ground, discarding you when you are no longer producing wealth for others. This is the true face of a country built on SLAVERY, Native Peoples GENOCIDE and exploitation and violence. There is no need for hell when we have America 😮😮
GREAT editing. This video gave me constant chills especially the beginning. The woman singing over the blow horn. Play back slowed, viewing a random woman waving at someone we can't see. What horrible chaos. These addict's are living on the edge for sure. Please stay safe, thank you for filming the atrocities that are the United States of America.
This place is just an eye opener, i honestly think the whole place needs a major overhaul. It's hard to believe that people are living like this. Kudos to the paramedics who have to work in this place. Great coverage.
I ❤ ur channel you made me look at life at a different way about human life love❤ respect 😊 and how we have to take care of each other 😢 stop da volince stop da hate stop da pain in gods name Jesus amen 😊
I’ve always said this in the past and I’ll say it again, our government needs to focus on OUR country first before helping others. How can we help others if we can’t help ourselves first. Get this freaking administration out and let’s start helping our people!! God bless all!
Kensington was still bad during trump and bush … just look at Kensington 2015 😂this is about more than just one party two wings of the same bird to fly or the bird can’t fly… remeber that both parties see this mess and no one does anything
@@Elchampolinbellacado no clue it was bad like this before. This is terrible. Well I stand behind my first statement anyways. Fix our problems first before someone else’s ya know. ✌️
@@Elchampolinbellacadowhen Italian mafia ran Philly these peole would ben shot or seriously beaten with aluminum bat. I rather have mafia ran than gentrification bullshit
Amazingly filmed 🙀 perfect editing to give so much more weight to the whole tragedy of the situation on the street , real time into slow mo and haunting background soundtrack makes it even more disturbing… take nothing away from the awful situation those lost souls are in ☹️
I agree too. It looks and sounds surreal, like a really bad nightmare. That sinister background music is so fitting. Lost souls is the right way to describe them. Poor lost people, living in what I could only be described as hell.
Caring about the homeless should be our government's number one priority. We, as a nation, can never be united with such problems existing and flourishing in today's society. Please alert the politicians and influential local community member to address this situation immediately! This must be considered as urgent until problem is resolved. Very disturbing, as a citizen of the United States of America, to see this problem growing as if this scenario is supposed to be a part of a successful society.
those things are not only happening at kensington, i live in belgium, here tranq is not really a hipe yet🍀🍀🍀, here it's crack and coke,speed, XTC with children who die because their family are rivalizing with other dealers; same situation in the neighborhood of some trainstations and quarters in brussels as in Philadelphia😏😞😓
What you meant to say deedee was epidemic. This refers to a disease occurring widely in a community at a certain time. But yes, if the Democrats have their way, this will soon become a pandemic, which effects the world as a whole.
This been a pandemic for decades. But it Is far worse now. The only people are noticing the critical state it's reached is because social media is opening everyone's eyes to it. I've lived through similar situations like this but have been clean for 11 years now.
I have see a loaf of videos on Kensington, this was the most honest one. Tragic doesn't begin to encompass what was always a rough & dangerous area, but it's worse than ever, it's is a Hellscape. Prayers & action for the addicted, the afflicted, the dead & dying, mercy please, have mercy.
Thanks for filming It's a hard watch absolutely heartbreaking to see ppl in this condition. I pray in Gods name they get all they help they need Hard to imagine this exists ❤
I have a granddaughter who is nearly 1 year old soon, and it breaks my heart to see these sons, daughters and grandchildren, brothers or sisters who have lost their way seriously. I imagine how I would feel if I lost my child to this situation. We must pray for them and just hope they find their way back. ❤️🩹
And sadly the young kids growing up now will see this as normal to see this on the streets . I live in Australia and these drugs haven’t taken off over here I pray they never do because this is terrible I can’t believe what we are seeing.
When i first saw one of these videos a couple of years ago now i said this can't be real i was stunned but it is real and sad. It's very dangerous so take care of yourself out there! Good filming and great video. 👍👍💜
It's important to recognize that the decision to seek help is a deeply personal one, and it cannot be imposed upon someone. Individuals must reach a point where they genuinely choose to embark on a journey of self-improvement and healing. Encouragement and support can play a crucial role in facilitating this choice, but ultimately, the initiative to seek help must arise from within
What your sayin has truth but we as a society have to care more and intervene. Give them a better chance to make that decision. Many of them want to buts its a deck staked against them. We gotta help em.
@@jacquelinechellis4036 Many have already burnt their bridges, and do not want the same responsibilities that we have. Some do scratch and claw their way out. Most don't want to. They are their own community, living their dream with like minded people. Caring about them is not a negative characteristic, but offer them your home and generosity, and they will rob you clean.
Definitely, countries such as the Netherlands and Norway / Sweden / Denmark and Germany etc are among the cłėanest countries - the US is becoming as üncłėan as third wòrłd countries, ugh!
It’s like a post-apocalyptic movie, what a mėss - I don’t even think I want to live in the US anymore, it’s getting as ünćłėan as third wórłd countriės, while the Netherlands and Norway and Germany etc are among the cłėanest countries!
the really scary thing is even if you think you have it all sorted and home etc, most of us are only a few pay cheques and lack of support from falling down this path.
Man, anybody that ever was talking about the zombie apocalypse coming and got laughed at well. They’re not laughing now because it’s here it’s right here in Kensington. 😮
Here in LA you see people who have lost their jobs and their livelihoods and have their last suitcase of belongings with them and have lost all hope and you see them finally sit down with the fentanyl addicts and smoke their first fentanyl and you know in a matter of weeks they'll be just like the other drug zombies. These are deaths of despair. They aren't using the drugs for fun. They're trying to escape their horrible reality.
@@cixcell7735You could not have said that better,I’ve been at the bottom,And it was all I could do,Swimming against a self imposed tide,To pull my head out,And decide I want to live,And not hurt people that care about me
I ad the question of..where are the Children of the people on Kensington rn? I get relatives maybe..it is still A Lot of CHILDREN. Super sad..lost generations 💔💔
You people make me laugh, when the federal government put crack cocaine in black communities in the 80s when I was teen , white people celebrated from the suffering of black people addicted to crack , now the tables have turned on your people, we have to show compassion, your all jokes.
It's been worse....I feel like I'm there when I watch these videos. I made it out. It's all to real to watch!! Olmost 2 years, one day at a time.sometimes hours,mins....sobriety isn't easy,but it's worth it I can say today. Go through this, and you will make it to here...all the thoughts,dreams,memory's and people. Me. Today I choose not to use. 1 is to many, thousand isn't enuff. FACTS. be safe.
Wow😮😨😱😱 That place truly is a Concrete Jungle 😱😱 for teal man...!!!! I'm getting like Gotham city vibes 🦇🦇 Watching this makes me grateful for the life I have 🙏🤲 I feel sorry for so sorry for this community 😭😭 God bless you all.
I watch this from France and what occurs to me is that those extremely dirty streets are lined with shiny expansive brand new cars. The people are ragged, haggard, in excruciating pain, living zombies, some of them in wheelchairs with rotten limbs, the shops are boarded up and everything is revoltingly dirty…but the cars are squeaky clean. 😙
Several people on other Kensington sites have said that the fancy cars belong to people in the surrounding areas who park and ride the train to their jobs. I would be afraid that I wouldn't have a car when I got back.
I can identify with all of this. The using , the getting and finding any means...but also was blessed to have a moment of clarity and also someone that cared very deeply enough to help me get better. Willingness always plays a part. Please pray for the willingness and the power to carry that healing out. Its the only way to break free from addiction. #odat
Mmmm hun, this is tranq addiction. It eats tissue all over the body. Including the brain. These ppl are not capable of having the thought ability to decide they want to get clean. This dr*g literally turns ppl in to zombies. It's too late. Ppl cannot be saved from tranq addiction. It's as bad as it gets.
Yeah, this is one of the Dopest Kensington videos I’ve seen yet. Are usually don’t like when the person who’s creating them puts music and effects in their videos. Are usually like the video raw uncut footage. But man this is fire. The edits are amazing.
Right now the left gets voted in by promising programs, clinics, etc, but it never happens, unfortunately the only way this stops is as they die, they have no other option with this new drug trank and benson dope
My mom would always say that all these people are someones baby. So sad to see this and to think of some poor mothers lying awake sleepless nights worrying about their kid and just waiting for that horrible phone call that they died. 😞
Living in LDN UK....im utterly shocked. This stuff happens but not so openly. Love and prays to the people struggling to save their souls because of addiction
Ye im from chesterfield England ye there poor people in this country but i know this country on its arse with a tory government but at least people arnt this bad if ya poor
That poor girl trying to get home with her food and that freaking zombie scared the crap out of her😭😭😭. People still live in that area with their kids and just have to deal with that bullshit because the city won’t do anything. They need life sentences for the dealers and drug traffickers selling opiates and narcotics.
It's disgusting behavior! I no longer have sympathy for the drug addicts I have sympathy for the children and adults who have to live around it! We all have a choice that means a choice to go get help instead of that next fix! I'm angry over the ppl who are giving out needles and products to fuel their behavior then it all gets left out on the streets garbage for everyone to see then their bodies look like something attacked them from a saw movie! Absolutely disturbing and disgusting!
Leftist activists are feeding this problem. We Trump to get elected to stop all of this. This has all started after crooked a*s Biden took over the White House. I’m glad our black brothers and sisters are finally realizing which party is the true cause of the problems of America. The Democrats don’t care about anybody but themselves. We need to come together as a nation to put a stop to this and stop letting the Democrats trying to divide us. I won’t be an evil racist no matter what. We are all God’s children and are all equal and created in his image. Let’s all make America great once again and better than what it ever was.
The government traffics drugs, children, illegal arms. We get arrested if we do the same. This is what it looks like when you have an evil rogue government, we are being taken down from within, and soon, from without.
How on earth do the shop owners run businesses like this. What are the city officials doing. This is a public health crisis an abomination that the local leaders allow this. This has been going on for yrs & steady declining.
@@annfreels3071 I’m so sick of people using that excuse when society’s been steady declining over the years . Republicans nor Democrat’s are doing absolutely nothing to address it.
The one that hit me hard, at 9:26, was the dude doing the zombie arm swing back and forth for a while. He then perks up, walks on some, then turns around like he's forgotten the time. He checks the imaginary watch on his wrist and continues past the camera, with an almost lucid look of purpose.
Interesting to note the sizeable number of vagrants who are in wheelchairs - seems there's one or two in many of the traveling shots in this piece. It would be fair to speculate that many of them, due to the Xylazine (tranq) now routinely laced into much of the fentanyl they use, have been rendered immobile due to skin ulcers on their legs having flared into chronic lesions that have burrowed deep into muscle and bone. It is simply too painful, if not impossible to walk. A hardcore fentanyl user, if they live long enough, will inevitably become a wheelchair-bound user.
Except for 1 channel I haven't watched any footage about Kensington for a long time because I think it's all based on sensation and/or self enrichment. Today I decided to watch something again and chose this movie. I will leave aside the reason why you are making this film, also because I don't know. But I do want to express my compliments. Because this video touches me. Everything is just right, the delays, the sound effects, how the camera floats across the street. And it shows exactly what kind of horror takes place there. A sickly, really scary horror movie, but in the real world. My thoughts are with all the lost souls out there and I sincerely hope for everyone in this movie that they find happiness again. I am doing an extensive tonglen meditation tonight to send love and strength to everyone there. Once again my compliments for making this video and especially for how you have directed this video, like a professional
@@SHIZZOTHEPRO you’ve got a new follower from Holland. I’m curious about your next video and I really hope it’s about showing the world what’s happening and not about sensation. At this moment I don’t know what your motives are for making this videos. I assume the good in people and therefore in you. I don’t mean to judge you, it’s just for myself. I don’t want to support or watch things that are based on sensation and self enrichment. But of course everybody is free to make what they want and what the purpose is of it, let’s be clear about that. Again my compliments for this really touching and very scary real video
A new follower from Ireland ❤ I remember years ago being disturbed after seeing the film 'Trainspotting'. This is that film to the power of 'N'!!😢😢 My own alcohol addiction has paled into insignificance - still there. Thankful to be a year free. Thank you for opening mine and the eyes of those who wish to see 👍❣️
I can't believe city officials allow this type of behavior to continue.Its clear that they don't care about the city of Philadelphia.Where do the taxes go? This is just too sad.God Bless!
I don't know what you think they can do about it. These ppl are addicted to Tranq. Do you understand that they enacted laws making is nearly impossible to place any adult in to a psych ward besides a 24 hour hold 72 at the most? And it is not State funded. In any State. There are not facilities to put ppl like this in anymore. A treatment program would not even take them they are so far gone. Because ppl can only kick the habit if they really want and choose to. These ppl don't even know what planet they're on. They are not capable of wanting to get clean. Tranq destroys the brain completely. It literally eats all tissue away. Ya know ppl should have known better than to think opening the border wide open letting the cartels in to take over was a good idea. The Democrats have caused all of this. You get what you are stupid enough to be media manipulated in to voting for. The Border was never a race issue. It was a safety of our Country issue. This is the result!
This video is not exaggerating the situation and it is not a case of selective editing. This is Kensington and Kensington Avenue every day. I know someone out there somewhere right now. The only time he can stay clean is when he's locked up. He was released in July with a place to stay (a friend who has been clean for 4 years) and the prospect of a job. He got himself kicked out of the court-mandated treatment program for fighting, went to his friend's house and within 48 hours was back to Kensington. Putting no effort into the hard work of recovery.
12:03 if you stop it you can see how her left leg is festering, turning red and is swollen full of cellulitis. Its literally rotting them from the inside out. Ive seen addiction but now its turned a new leaf, and its adapted an entirely different look that I never thought was even possible They start rotting like a dead corpse while still alive and walking...the literal walking dead.
I've watch many videos on Kensington & am appalled at Kensington's city council over their lack of care for their community. Seems like there is No Progress in any direction & certainly no care for those in high poverty, I guess city council is too busy figuring ways to rip off tax payers & abuse their authority to even notice the decay Kensington is in. America is falling apart & the governments & members of their particular parliament along with the elite forces of this world who only care about power to control instead of how visitors & residents alike see this community & others like it. These people a Zombie Nomads with no place in society so they are ignored. Disgusting !!! >:(
I would not Even vist out there Let A Long ride on the Public Transportation out there in Kingston Philadelphia it is safer driving your own car. I would not Go to the nice Locations in Philadelphia since the Mayor And the other Leaders of Philadelphia don't!! Even care about this Neighborhood .
WHAT HAPPENED TO MY COUNTRY? THE ONE I WAS BORN INTO IN THE FIFTYS. WE WERE A PROUD PEOPLE,HARD WORKING AND GENEROUS. THIS IS NOT THE SAME COUNTRY I KNEW. IT IS ALIEN TO ME. I DON’T RECOGNIZE IT.
this looks a lot better than most footage ive seen, where you have zombies scattered all over the place. sidewalk, street, gutter, stoops, literally tranq'd out of their minds. kensington had the one up on LA's skid row, but now i think skid row has reclaimed the fools gold. the guy at the 28 minute mark caught a good fade, but im clockin out. cool spooky music though!
the urban scenes in the film "Bladerunner" shocked audiences, the view of the future of a dystopian cityscape full of homeless junkies whores and pimps, at the time bladerunner was released none of this existed, the director had a vision of it came in a nightmare he had, in the nightmare he goes back to where he was raised as a boy and everything has changed for the worse, his friends are all dead and replaced with people he doesn't know, all the building are falling down the schools are shut down and hospitals are bursting at the seams, the cops don't do anything except keep the people contained and away from the normal people who run everything, its here now, and its spreading and will be where you live soon, the American curse,
So grim. When I was a kid here in Scotland the area I lived in Edinburgh (Muirhouse) had a heroin epidemic in the 80s. Needles everywhere, people shooting up in our stairway was unreal and scary.

I say this not as a man, not as a British citizen but as a human being this is offensive on every level! how can the American politicians live with themselves! You cannot call yourselves civilised if you allow your fellow brothers and sisters to live like this! Awful truly awful.
I think it the government behind the drug war
For whatever reason this only happens in places run by Democrats.
You have to remember about half of Americans like seeing this, and think these people deserve it.
They want homelessness and addiction and the threat of incarceration to always be present as a tool to keep the lower classes divided.
Don't overlook the impact of narcissism and sociopaths.
@@sniperhare Lol, half of Americans don't like seeing this. Half of American politicians do like seeing this though.
You're not wrong.
This is an open-air asylum as well as a death camp on the streets. Seeing people actually sleep on urine-soaked sidewalks, living in garbage, and standing in a stooped-over position for long times is ghastly. They are all vulnerable to whatever threatens them. What people will do to be able to take their drug of choice and not even think twice about the hostile conditions they subject themselves to. My heart breaks for all of them, I pray for a miracle, these are someone's children and relatives at their lowest point.
in life all sorts of low points can be reached in all sorts of ways.......
Thank you for that. I was hooked on that stuff here in Indiana and realized I was at deaths door, realized I was about to die and I was okay with that because I knew it would be a way out. When I realized that I was going to die, I decided to ask for help, told my family what was going on, and got myself treatment. Ive been clean since july 12, 2023.
@@lazybelphegore6748 I am so happy for you! I know it takes a lot to get off anything. I was addicted years and years ago and I was at death's door as well. I looked at myself in the mirror and believe me pretty wasn't staring back and it made me sick and scared. I have been clean since '87 and never did it again. God bless you friend and I am going to pray for your strength and continuous good health. You did the right thing!
And is all intentionally being created and allowed to happen by the ruling class and their banker masters.
‘Open air asylum and death camp’ is the absolutely best way I’ve heard it describe. If someone was explaining this place to me, I would never have believed them, especially the part about law enforcement strewn about not seeming to do much.
😢😢😢my eldest son lost his battle against colon cancer 6 years ago! I sell every thing i had and move to a caravanpark and stay there for 8 months till his last day! I was with him every day, never left his side!

I am so sorry for your loss ..you are a strong parent.
Unfortunately many of the parents turned their back on these people lying on the streets.
Nah, this shit is a choice, cancer isn't
As a former meth coke and alcohol addict, I’ve been homeless, jailed, shunned by friends and family.
8 years clean now!
I have hope and I pray for everyone suffering with addiction!
I pray the way out presents itself and you all have the strength to take the leap and hold strong!
Many blessings!!
Aloha!!!
Congrats on your eight years! I've been off the booze some decades now myself.

Keep up the good work. You’re worth it!!
Well done.
This is what happens when a country closes all the mental health hospitals and makes it too expensive to get help or go to rehab.
I think you have to want help... spiritual crisis
Depends where you live. Many without jobs qualify for government assistance when it comes to detox and rehab. There are many areas where they wouldn't pay a dime.
@@xiene5318 Health wise, yes. Financially, no. Depends what "society" deems more important. Right now it seems to be about 50/50.
With the exception of prescription drugs, no one forced these people to initially engage in drug usage. I say this as a formerly homeless person who never drank or did drugs!
You’re absolutely right! It’s uncomprehending!
I have lived in Maine, New York, Delaware, Texas, and Pennsylvania. Last year, I had the opportunity to work to expand myself to Philadelphia. The contract was for a year, but I only lasted six months. I don't know whether to praise you or to scold you for exposing yourself to that danger. The drug epidemic affects everyone living there: children, young people, adults, and the elderly. It not only affects drug addicts but also all the residents of that big city, economically, mentally and psychologically.
Try Portland or La or Oakland etc
When those in pain are nothing more than a annoyance we have lost our humanity.
F*ck their pain, how about they behave with personal responsibility?
I have no words. My heart breaks. All the trash on the ground, all those empty People walking around.
The Politicians that sit in their Ivory Towers should feel ashamed of themselves..
Instead of spending billions on a war that has nothing to do with them use the money to sort the mess that's going on in your own country..
Absolutely disgusting
But you voted for them. All they had to do was tell you that the other side is racist.
They are proud of their accomplishments. Also government works perfectly. Get it?
Yes and it's disgusting, US is making money on war, but this, they don't give a sht
Nice profile pic man, nice indeed
Money throwing is not going to solve this deep multi-layered problem with American society. These people who are strung out on the streets of Philly and other metropolitan areas are the direct result of Darwinism and atheistic teachings in the academia of American school systems from kindergarten on up. God has been removed. Drugs have been taken to fill the void of atheism. This is an atheist country, my friend. This is what happens when a nation forgets GOD. Plain and simple. This assault on the white and black nuclear family began in the 40's. The black family has suffered second to the Native American nuclear family unit, which is all but completely and utterly destroyed if not non-existent in 2023. The NAI and the destruction/removal of his culture can offer us a glimpse as to the future of the rest of American society in the next five years. The spiritual culture and belief system was destroyed in the American Indian tribes across America and replaced with drugs and alcohol. Now that the planned for decades destruction is taking down the Caucasian, it is now an emergency that has to be stopped with the almighty dollar according to you. Money can't cure this ill. When it was happening to us, nobody cared.
Welcome to the rez.
I went to college in Philadelphia 40 years ago. I can’t believe my eyes. I’ve never seen living people in such a state of decay. The paramedics who go to work in these conditions are amazing.

My parents met at PCA and I was born there in ‘81. I now understand why they moved me to my Dad’s home state of Maine when I was little. The worst parts of Maine are better than the best parts of Philly. Sad 😢

@@beekind6267 thats so true. Life also took me completely by surprise after my wife met a new man during rehabilitation after surviving cancer and chemotherapy. I've lost almost everything. My home, my work (I had to move, I couldn't bear to see my old family with the new man), my children, my animals, basically everything. Then there was the malicious behavior of my wife, when it came out about the new man she made fun of it and became abusive. And that was a year ago. A year full of desperation, helplessness, sadness and meanwhile also a bit of anger. Despite everything, I manage to go to work every day and to be able to live my new life to some extent, even if I'm anything but satisfied. But it can also happen very quickly that your feelings paralyze you and make you so helpless that you can no longer cope in life. And there are probably even worse things than what happened to me. i never run so many tears in my whole life than in the last year.
This is worse than any so called Third World country. The filth and human suffering in the supposedly riches country in the world is a specific kind of shameful inhumanity that hardly exists anyplace else on earth. I've been to slums in Kenya, Brazil Mexico etc.. and at least there, you have families working together with an abundance of love. This American hell hole is devoid of anything good, and to me it represents the ultimate purpose of Capitalism to grind ones soul into the ground, discarding you when you are no longer producing wealth for others. This is the true face of a country built on SLAVERY, Native Peoples GENOCIDE and exploitation and violence. There is no need for hell when we have America 😮😮

Caring about the homeless should be our government's number one priority. We, as a nation, can never be united with such problems existing and flourishing in today's society. Please alert the politicians and influential local community member to address this situation immediately! This must be considered as urgent until problem is resolved. Very disturbing, as a citizen of the United States of America, to see this problem growing as if this scenario is supposed to be a part of a successful society.

It's important to recognize that the decision to seek help is a deeply personal one, and it cannot be imposed upon someone. Individuals must reach a point where they genuinely choose to embark on a journey of self-improvement and healing. Encouragement and support can play a crucial role in facilitating this choice, but ultimately, the initiative to seek help must arise from within
Ppl don't even realize what's happening around them when they are tranq addicted, to have the ability to decide to get clean.
What your sayin has truth but we as a society have to care more and intervene. Give them a better chance to make that decision. Many of them want to buts its a deck staked against them. We gotta help em.

The melody Goes perfect with this video Praying for my fellow people to get out of any addiction
I watch this from France and what occurs to me is that those extremely dirty streets are lined with shiny expansive brand new cars. The people are ragged, haggard, in excruciating pain, living zombies, some of them in wheelchairs with rotten limbs, the shops are boarded up and everything is revoltingly dirty…but the cars are squeaky clean. 😙
Several people on other Kensington sites have said that the fancy cars belong to people in the surrounding areas who park and ride the train to their jobs. I would be afraid that I wouldn't have a car when I got back.
I can identify with all of this. The using , the getting and finding any means...but also was blessed to have a moment of clarity and also someone that cared very deeply enough to help me get better. Willingness always plays a part. Please pray for the willingness and the power to carry that healing out. Its the only way to break free from addiction. #odat

That poor girl trying to get home with her food and that freaking zombie scared the crap out of her😭😭😭. People still live in that area with their kids and just have to deal with that bullshit because the city won’t do anything. They need life sentences for the dealers and drug traffickers selling opiates and narcotics.
It's disgusting behavior! I no longer have sympathy for the drug addicts I have sympathy for the children and adults who have to live around it! We all have a choice that means a choice to go get help instead of that next fix! I'm angry over the ppl who are giving out needles and products to fuel their behavior then it all gets left out on the streets garbage for everyone to see then their bodies look like something attacked them from a saw movie! Absolutely disturbing and disgusting!
Leftist activists are feeding this problem. We Trump to get elected to stop all of this. This has all started after crooked a*s Biden took over the White House. I’m glad our black brothers and sisters are finally realizing which party is the true cause of the problems of America. The Democrats don’t care about anybody but themselves. We need to come together as a nation to put a stop to this and stop letting the Democrats trying to divide us. I won’t be an evil racist no matter what. We are all God’s children and are all equal and created in his image. Let’s all make America great once again and better than what it ever was.
And users.
The government traffics drugs, children, illegal arms. We get arrested if we do the same. This is what it looks like when you have an evil rogue government, we are being taken down from within, and soon, from without.
Yep. A little dose of Singapore justice 🌸🏯
The only place in the world where I see no racism. They are all sprawled out there together, without judgement. 🙏🏾
How on earth do the shop owners run businesses like this. What are the city officials doing. This is a public health crisis an abomination that the local leaders allow this. This has been going on for yrs & steady declining.
Run by dems!
@@annfreels3071 I’m so sick of people using that excuse when society’s been steady declining over the years . Republicans nor Democrat’s are doing absolutely nothing to address it.
This is a example of NOT doing the right thing
this is so easy to stop if we had a real gov't
The smell must be so overwhelming! Also look at all the people with bandages, to hide their rotting skin! This place looks so helpless
The one that hit me hard, at 9:26, was the dude doing the zombie arm swing back and forth for a while. He then perks up, walks on some, then turns around like he's forgotten the time. He checks the imaginary watch on his wrist and continues past the camera, with an almost lucid look of purpose.
Great cinematography,
Interesting to note the sizeable number of vagrants who are in wheelchairs - seems there's one or two in many of the traveling shots in this piece. It would be fair to speculate that many of them, due to the Xylazine (tranq) now routinely laced into much of the fentanyl they use, have been rendered immobile due to skin ulcers on their legs having flared into chronic lesions that have burrowed deep into muscle and bone. It is simply too painful, if not impossible to walk. A hardcore fentanyl user, if they live long enough, will inevitably become a wheelchair-bound user.
I was wondering about that. (shudder)
Omg! That is beyond horrific! Wow
Really liked how close you were able to get to the people the ladies down there should always stick together if possible.👍👍👍😊💜
LADIES??!!😂😂😂😂😂😂
Except for 1 channel I haven't watched any footage about Kensington for a long time because I think it's all based on sensation and/or self enrichment.
Today I decided to watch something again and chose this movie. I will leave aside the reason why you are making this film, also because I don't know. But I do want to express my compliments. Because this video touches me. Everything is just right, the delays, the sound effects, how the camera floats across the street. And it shows exactly what kind of horror takes place there. A sickly, really scary horror movie, but in the real world. My thoughts are with all the lost souls out there and I sincerely hope for everyone in this movie that they find happiness again. I am doing an extensive tonglen meditation tonight to send love and strength to everyone there.
Once again my compliments for making this video and especially for how you have directed this video, like a professional
Thanks you so much
@@SHIZZOTHEPRO you’ve got a new follower from Holland. I’m curious about your next video and I really hope it’s about showing the world what’s happening and not about sensation. At this moment I don’t know what your motives are for making this videos. I assume the good in people and therefore in you. I don’t mean to judge you, it’s just for myself. I don’t want to support or watch things that are based on sensation and self enrichment. But of course everybody is free to make what they want and what the purpose is of it, let’s be clear about that.
Again my compliments for this really touching and very scary real video
A new follower from Ireland ❤ I remember years ago being disturbed after seeing the film 'Trainspotting'. This is that film to the power of 'N'!!😢😢 My own alcohol addiction has paled into insignificance - still there. Thankful to be a year free. Thank you for opening mine and the eyes of those who wish to see 👍❣️
And it wasn't in India that an entire shantytown was removed before the G20?
I can't believe city officials allow this type of behavior to continue.Its clear that they don't care about the city of Philadelphia.Where do the taxes go? This is just too sad.God Bless!
I don't know what you think they can do about it. These ppl are addicted to Tranq. Do you understand that they enacted laws making is nearly impossible to place any adult in to a psych ward besides a 24 hour hold 72 at the most? And it is not State funded. In any State. There are not facilities to put ppl like this in anymore. A treatment program would not even take them they are so far gone. Because ppl can only kick the habit if they really want and choose to. These ppl don't even know what planet they're on. They are not capable of wanting to get clean. Tranq destroys the brain completely. It literally eats all tissue away. Ya know ppl should have known better than to think opening the border wide open letting the cartels in to take over was a good idea. The Democrats have caused all of this. You get what you are stupid enough to be media manipulated in to voting for. The Border was never a race issue. It was a safety of our Country issue. This is the result!
What taxes? This is purely Democrat controlled city and State and the ppl there are mostly on the dole.
Thanks Mom and Dad for moving us out of Kensington.
This video is not exaggerating the situation and it is not a case of selective editing. This is Kensington and Kensington Avenue every day. I know someone out there somewhere right now. The only time he can stay clean is when he's locked up. He was released in July with a place to stay (a friend who has been clean for 4 years) and the prospect of a job. He got himself kicked out of the court-mandated treatment program for fighting, went to his friend's house and within 48 hours was back to Kensington. Putting no effort into the hard work of recovery.
id love to hear the cops stories as i bet they have many to tell. Its like walking through a sad slow motion nightmare of despair
12:03 if you stop it you can see how her left leg is festering, turning red and is swollen full of cellulitis. Its literally rotting them from the inside out. Ive seen addiction but now its turned a new leaf, and its adapted an entirely different look that I never thought was even possible
They start rotting like a dead corpse while still alive and walking...the literal walking dead.
That is from the Xylazine being cut into the drugs.
The opening scene of the gentlemen holding the wig with one hand and twirling the air above his head with the other...damn.
gee, without the horror music i would never have known it was a bad place, thanks for telegraphicing it.
I've watch many videos on Kensington & am appalled at Kensington's city council over their lack of care for their community. Seems like there is No Progress in any direction & certainly no care for those in high poverty, I guess city council is too busy figuring ways to rip off tax payers & abuse their authority to even notice the decay Kensington is in. America is falling apart & the governments & members of their particular parliament along with the elite forces of this world who only care about power to control instead of how visitors & residents alike see this community & others like it.
These people a Zombie Nomads with no place in society so they are ignored. Disgusting !!! >:(
I Agree!! This upset 😒me And I don't!! Live there.
I would not Even vist out there Let A Long ride on the Public Transportation out there in Kingston Philadelphia it is safer driving your own car. I would not Go to the nice Locations in Philadelphia since the Mayor And the other Leaders of Philadelphia don't!! Even care about this Neighborhood .
WHAT HAPPENED TO MY COUNTRY?
THE ONE I WAS BORN INTO IN THE FIFTYS.
WE WERE A PROUD PEOPLE,HARD WORKING AND GENEROUS.
THIS IS NOT THE SAME COUNTRY I KNEW.
IT IS ALIEN TO ME.
I DON’T RECOGNIZE IT.
Greed
To ALL watching,make WISE decisions in life!!
this looks a lot better than most footage ive seen, where you have zombies scattered all over the place. sidewalk, street, gutter, stoops, literally tranq'd out of their minds. kensington had the one up on LA's skid row, but now i think skid row has reclaimed the fools gold. the guy at the 28 minute mark caught a good fade, but im clockin out. cool spooky music though!
the urban scenes in the film "Bladerunner" shocked audiences, the view of the future of a dystopian cityscape full of homeless junkies whores and pimps, at the time bladerunner was released none of this existed, the director had a vision of it came in a nightmare he had, in the nightmare he goes back to where he was raised as a boy and everything has changed for the worse, his friends are all dead and replaced with people he doesn't know, all the building are falling down the schools are shut down and hospitals are bursting at the seams, the cops don't do anything except keep the people contained and away from the normal people who run everything, its here now, and its spreading and will be where you live soon, the American curse,
So grim. When I was a kid here in Scotland the area I lived in Edinburgh (Muirhouse) had a heroin epidemic in the 80s. Needles everywhere, people shooting up in our stairway was unreal and scary.
Those streets are just bathed in despair & misery. So sad.
Misery loves lots of company….
You're amazing at this! This was crazy to watch. You're also so smooth on that bike...at first I thought you were walking in the first half of pt1.
This looks just like Lexington Avenue and East 125th Street in Harlem, NY. This is so sad and heartbreaking to see a community like this. 😭🙏
Este es el mejor video que he visto sobre el tema de la droga. Eres genial ! 👍
