They seem to bounce and wobble from one side to the next. The drugged-out, half-alive skeletons of Kensington Avenue in Philadelphia make their way past erected tents and filthy sidewalks en route to their next fix.
How Kensington Avenue, a poverty-stricken place in one of the most impoverished cities in the country, gets away with brazenly being the center of one of the largest open-air narcotics markets in the United States is frightening, bewildering, and telling.
It's a race to the city morgue for many inhabitants of Kensington injecting themselves in broad daylight. And with so many new places like Kensington popping up across the country, the question is, which Democrat-run city will emerge as the most prolific killer of American youth?
Kensington is an atrocious evil disguised as benevolence. This sickening eyesore and open wound is the poster child of poor policies by leadership that believes caring means enabling young adults, hallucinating and covered with skin ulcers, to receive free crack pipes and sleep in human waste.
According to the CDC's National Center for Health Statistics, there were an estimated 100,306 drug overdose deaths in the United States during 12 months ending in April 2021, an increase of 28.5% from the 78,056 deaths during the same period the year before.
Anyone with a pulse realizes that the lethal drug fentanyl is a primary contributor to the high death rates of young Americans.
CNN reported that U.S. Customs and Border Protection saw a 1,066% increase in fentanyl seized in south Texas in 2021. This synthetic opioid originating from China that is 80 to 100 times stronger than morphine gets into the bodies of soon-to-be-dead Americans mainly through the open southern border with Mexico.

“They do it so well, under the “L”...”
It seriously looks like a Sci-fi dystopian movie in Kensington.
I watched a good number of videos of Kennins2ton on youtube. It really looks like an episode of Night of the Living Dead.
Kensington and Port Richmond used to be just small row home neighborhoods of very blue collar working class families where you almost needed an invite to wander through and the home sales were always completed through families and friends.
Tough neighborhoods if you were an outsider, but nothing like today.

There is nothing the government can do to stop people from taking drugs and stemming the flow of drugs to them. The “war on drugs” is a complete and total failure. It has regressed to a point of ridiculously small returns on the money and resources thrown at it for decades. An immensely expensive game of Whack-A-Mole. Billions if not trillions of dollars spent, millions in prison over that time, man power time wasted. Stomping on the Constitution and Bill of Rights, abandoning due process too. So “How’s it work ‘in out ?” Any Master of the Obvious would point out, it ain’t work ‘in. I actually know the Kensington area well and these people need help and really most have some deep mental illness’s and phycological problems. I’ll be honest and sayI don’t know the solution but what we are doing now is a waste of time and it is obvious something, anything different has to be attempted.
My future sister in law grew up there. Tough girl.
now NOW... it’s still BHM and they’re celebrating
K and A was always rough.
You are approaching this with logic.
That’s rare.
The interesting thing about the War on Drugs is that it has failed for 40 plus years, and we have not changed course. However, as in most warfare, people have made much money. The biggest winners are the drug dealers.
Most people view drug addiction as a moral failure, and see the addicted as unworthy of compassion or help. This approach is costing all of us money. Drug addicts are expensive. Fixing the problem should be our focus.
