EXCLUSIVE: Inside America's Zombieland: Philadelphia's Kensington neighborhood looks like a scene from the WALKING DEAD

The Kensington neighborhood of Philadelphia - known as 'ground zero' for the city's drug epidemic - is in crisis due to widespread abuse of an animal tranquilizer called xylazine.

Addicts are shooting up in broad daylight, hunched over in a stupor or passed out on the streets. Many have raw, gaping wounds in desperate need of medical attention. And there are needles, syringes and garbage littered across the sidewalks.

'I've never seen human beings remain in these kinds of conditions,' said Sarah Laurel, who runs outreach organization Savage Sisters.

You can't believe that this is America when looking at the pictures. Even though we have seen these types of pictures before when discussing the degradation of American democrat-controlled cities, it's always a shock to see how bad it has actually become. Each year, more and more neighborhoods and cities are becoming just as bad as this. And what is so awful is that none of the leaders of those cities are doing anything to stop the problem. Instead, they continue to enable the drugged out criminals and adding more and more to the rank of drug addicted.

George Soros Open Society a reality.

One of the worst areas in America.

There could be money to be made taking wealthy foreign tourists, in armored SUVs, on tours of these streets

We’ll call it “American Urban Safari.”

And here is another DailyMail article on the decline of Seattle. Nike is apparently closing its flagship store there, along with the multiplex cinema.

I've seen videos of this neighborhood, and had wondered what the heck everyone was taking. I saw a lot of people standing motionless, but bending down at odd angles.

I was thinking it was fentanyl, but had never seen that particular behavior.

Brought to you by the democrats and people are so afraid of being shamed by the Schumer democrat “nuns” in the media, for saying something, they keep quiet.

[Afterguard]

Disgusting. I remember Rush referring to Philly as “Filthydelphia,” and that was many years ago...

Biden did that!

[dfwgator]

Cosby called it “Filthydelphia”.

It’s not new… Kensington was always rough, way back when I was growing up in the 70s. It’s worse now, but it’s not new.

I was stationed at the Navy Base in Philly for a few months in 1968...I never saw anything like it is now...Of course I hardly went more than 4-5 blocks east or west of Broad Street...

My question is how are they able to purchase more drugs, while in that state? They cant rob people, or steal. Withdrawal must really suck.

[NFHale]

I grew up in Philly. I knew lots of folks down in Kensington.
It was a damned rough area then.

If it’s changed at all, it just got worse.

It’s not the neighborhood… It’s the people in the neighborhood.

Geoff Montgomery : It's worse than horrible because a zombie has no will of his own. You see them sometimes walking around blindly with dead eyes, following orders, not knowing what they do, not caring.

Larry Lawrence : You mean like Democrats?

[bigfootbob]

They closed 5 Starbucks and I believe Nordstrom’s downtown store also.

The only way to fix this mess is to institute Singaporean corrections: mandatory death penalty by hanging for drug dealers. Must be carried out immediately after judicial review. No exceptions.

Back in the 70s I lived in the Fairmount section of the city, just south of Girard Avenue. I and everyone I knew was aware that you just don’t go in to Kensington. Not if you want to come back out alive. I can’t imagine trying to live in there.
