Im born & raised in Kensington graduated from Ascension at G & Westmoreland & was in active addiction for 25 yrs...but by the Grace of God i just celebrated 4 yrs clean yesterday 12/31/2019 i still live in Kensington & lost so many friends my fiance & family from addiction
Thank you for the insight Frank, what your doing is making a difference, through education..speaking of this stuff and making it available to the world WILL make a difference. You are a light in the darkness of humanity. I am from Australia and the other night on the news they showed what was the first recorded non indigenous tent set up on a public road, he was moved on quickly. Everybody here has said for a long time "we don't wanna end up like America" but I really do think it is human nature not country's that create fortunate and unfortunate. I think you are a gift to the world Frank and never stop the fight brother! Much love and respect from the land of OZ 🌏
This was a very interesting conversation Frank. I’m sure it’ll make people think twice, about what actions they take. It’s a very hard life on the streets. I truly appreciate your knowledge on the subject. You’re the real deal, totally genuine. That’s why I rock with you. I’m so happy you made it out of those circumstances. Now you’re giving back. Condolences for the man who suffered death, by such a trifling individual.Rest In Peace 🕊👼🏾🕊🙏🏾✝️🙏🏾💜
I am grateful I made it out. 5 years so far! I am 60, got addicted in 1995, and only 5 years ago got on Suboxone. My heart breaks for addicted, homeless, I remember it well. I went straight to a shelter, but spent all day on the street. Fetty wasn't in my last hometown before I left. Just missed it. Friggin lucky...
Frank, this format works. It is not only informative; it is impactful. It will resonate with people from all walks of life--and it will make a difference in someone’s life. The truth is like that. Thank you.
This was really helpful in understanding what has happened. For those of us, like me, this is not the “world” we live in & have little understanding (if any at all) on it. I love watching your channel bc it helps me to “get it”. I love & support all people no matter who they are. Thanks for bringing this to light Frank! Really enjoy watching your channel over the last few months. These issues need to be discussed. Gob bless this gentlemen & his family. RIP
Very good show , love the real talk thank you for being here. You are loved cared for, bless you and your family. I shared this on FB want it to travel. thank you
Some TH-camrs go down to Kensington to video for their channel and the police and local nonprofits tell them it's not safe. They get threatened several times by gun toting locals to leave or else. No one deserves to be shot to death sleeping rough under a tarp on a street. Total dystopian nightmare in that area of Philly. Could have been retribution or gang violence. Rest in peace, that's a tough way to go. This is a human being who was trying to survive the streets in winter. When someone is shot multiple times that's called overkill, indicates anger on the part of the shooter using gun with clip magazine. The story is right out of a novel. Most of us have no idea how this street life works for addicts. It is all business with illegal narcotics. I appreciate your insight.
To someone who is completely ignorant in the ways that you call the "concrete jungle", your perspective was not only eye opening but it was terrifying. Thank you and your family for doing all that you do. God bless. 🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻
Hi Frank, im so sorry this happened to the homeless man that you help in the community its totally devastating i hope this man can RIP. and i want to thank you and your family for all you do for the people in kensington im grateful and im happy you got out of the drug life Amen
HAPPY NEW YEAR TO YOU & YOUR BEAUTIFUL FAMILY. Extremely interested in hearing your thoughts & knowledge in such format. It's cool having your full attention as opposed to stopping for interviews (which I still love), driving, phone calls, etc. for myself, I'll keep tuning in. Always stay encouraged 🙏
What a nightmare, to have someone shoot an innocent person. I indeed hope that that perpetrator no longer has any peace of mind, that he is scared to death by every police car or siren. I have been following you for several years, you make a beautiful documentary, and what you are doing now is also very beautiful! I hope for a safe year for you and your family and that you can help many more people in Kensington. Greetings from the Netherlands
come to queens ny..we are most definitely in need of genuine care and lived the life to hear our stories.i wish i knew and heard these stories a very long time ago..who knows how things shoula/woulda/coulda been.
Hi Frank, HNY! Kensington is a tragic place, there is a tragedy or more each day. A very dangerous place to live and be homeless. It has been like that a long time and that situation will always be dangerous until some miracle appears. Not a safe place to be. God Bless them.
HAPPY NEW YEAR FRANK IM PROUD TO SAY THAT TODAY MARKS MY 3RD YEAR OF SOBRIETY. I FEEL LIKWE A MILLION DOLLARS SINCE THEN. THANK YOU FRANK FOR ALL YOU DO BROOKLYN STAND UP!!!
@@MORALSOVERMONEY1 IT WAS NOT EASY AND I WOULD LIKE OTHERS THAT ARE STRUGGLING WITH SOBRIETY TO KNOW IF I DID IT YOU CAN DO IT. EVERYDAY IS A STRUGGLE BUT JUST STAYING SOBER ONE DAY AT A TIME IS AN ACCOMPLISHMENT SALUTES FRANK
Happy New Years 🎉and Sending my prayers and thatGod continues to Lead and Guide you in all the works you set out to do for all the hurting souls...God Bless

@@MORALSOVERMONEY1 no problem bro literally I think people would love just to hear you talk in that kinda format like I know u want the podcast but until then I and I know a lot of people just wana hear u talk and see u ya know anyways happy. New years brother I’m sorry to hear about your father and the many loses u have taken but the way u are handling them and being a good father and husband really inspires me and slot of people to just be good people man sorry for rambling lol thanks again 🙏
Very informative Frank. You really made me think. You're probably spot on because you lived it all, but I also wonder about all these young people running around Kensington abusing homeless addicts, for apparently no reason. It's happening so frequently. Why?? Could it be part of gang initiations? Could this murder have been committed by one of these groups of violent juveniles that are getting bolder? I'd like to know your thoughts on this.
Good formatt Frank,i like it. Much love from New Zealand frank,good to learn more about your story too,and although here in NZ we dont have such heavy drugs we do have meth,and been an ex dealer myself i get what saying about addicts burning you,whoever lives by the sword will die by it,hence getting out of that world. Now i breed big guard dogo argentinos and many buissnessmen buy them to keep.theor homes amd buissness safer,its legal and its much more enjoyable,i dont feel.like i jave a X on my back anymore.also better money. Anyway,long time subbed here,and have a great new year brother, 👌 RIP to the brother 😢
I’m 41 yrs old I used to have a bad crack habit started at 15 quite at 23.The day I decided I was done spending money on the crap I had 10$ all ones and I took them 10 one dollar bills called up 10 different dealers and said I’m coming thru dogg got 100$ 😂then I drove to the hood and when they came to my car I rolled down window they handed me the 100$ peice of butter and I handed them just one folded up dollar bill lol😂I couldn’t believe it worked luckily none of them knew where I lived 😂I was a white dood in a nice neighborhood and drove to the hood only 10 min drive but believe it or not the white peoples always stayed on there side of river and we stayed on ours for the most part so I got away with it and haven’t touched the dope since 23 yrs old
Out of all 10 guys I ripped off that night only one of them took the money and didn’t put it straight in pocket and walk away like the other 9.He unfolded it and saw the 1$ bill and tried to reach for my door handle but I took off in my car .He did chase me in his mini van but I had a 1988 ford Lincoln mark 7 and it had the ford 5.0 engine so yeah I lost that guy pretty easily 😂
Hi frank Steve from England Just viewed your post. 23 times was no warning. I think it was overkill , so I think he was known by his assassin or he was found and shot beyond reconisation. A lot of noise after 3 to 4 shots. I agree with some of what you say, not all frank. Steve from England
I watched 2 TH-cam videos yesterday where people were hitting someone wearing heels. Now I have to wonder if this is who got shot!! These videos were from a building camera near the station exit / entrance that has the big grey unit sitting near the corner.
.y heartfelt prayers and thoughts are with the Family and Friends of the deceased. I hope the law will catch up with the killer or killers. Karma will come to them one day.
Thank you sir for the content. Apparently you have a very high street iq. Liked the message and the philosophy about it. Morals over money. I believe I saw you when you first came out on TH-cam. Keep doing positive things and god bless.

congratulations on your recovery
Praise Glory, you know how lucky that makes you. Keep that sobriety protected and nurture it everyday day. Congratulations 🎉
God bless you! I was married in Ascension many years ago.
This man is a beautiful soul, carry on with your great work.

Might just be some young boy got hold of a gun and was looking for a thrill
He was hustling. I'm from here
Oh. Crap. Why so evil??? Shit way to start the year. A cold reminder that people are evil. Nothing changed.
