Shocking footage from Philadelphia's 'ZOMBIE Skid Row' shows groups of opioid-addicted homeless men struggling to STAND amid needle-littered streets of filth and trash can fires

Homeless men lie on the sidewalk while others wearing blankets and rags loiter on a street strewn with garbage, feces, and drug paraphernalia along the notorious Kensington Avenue drag in Philadelphia.

Video posted online on March 10 shows people living out of suitcases on the sidewalks in the area adjacent to the entrance to the Somerset train station along the Market-Frankford train line while others openly brandish needles.

Cardboard boxes with trash bags stacked on top of them lie feet away from the entrances to various pawn shops, check-cashing stores, delis, and bodegas.

Probably that good bit different compared to the "Rocky" era.

Disgusting and what all of the US will look like under Biden/Harris if they continue their current direction.

Goodness, what a trash heap.

The City of Brotherly Squalor

I can’t imagine being homeless in any other the colder cities.

I see they partially blame Whitey for fleeing to the suburbs.

As long as they are given multiple ballots already filled out to vote for the Democrats, what’s the problem?/sarcasm

ALL “progressive/left” power originates from Electoral Fraud. ALL urban decline commences with electoral fraud. ALL OF IT.

The disenfranchised voters then leave...taking their money and their businesses..allowing the criminals to run the show.

Electoral Fraud ALWAYS precedes Leftism and Progressivism..because at the end of the day..Leftism is essentially a disordered mind/mental illness...and most people who can hold a job and are productive enough to be taxpayers are not mentally ill and reason just fine.

Those aiding and abetting local Electoral Fraud then get “theirs’ from the process starting in motion the urban declines. In the 50/60/70’s it was the bookies/the mob, by the 70/80/90’s the dope cartels, by now it has evolved into human trafficking with manifold different expressions as outlined in multiple places on the interwebs

Once the fraudulent processes are in place the networks of control assembled from decades of accumulated dirt and control crimes on one another in local and state and national politics layer and layer into a massive social/administrative/economic national mess. A slow “progression”into a nationwide dystopia

If this was 1918, 1/2 those people would have died from the flu Last fall.

But that was “just the flu”.

City officials? The Mayor or Governor, where are they? Hazmat teams are sent in the clean so someone knows about the situation but still the problem remains and grows. There are solutions to these issues but the left doesn’t want solutions, they need more homeless, more junkies, more hopelessness so they can prove that the only solution is more government.

I preform building inspections in Milwaukee and Chicago in some very rough areas. I have noticed that things are getting worse in these area, to the point I am not visiting some areas for fear of my safety.

Just think—this is the city where our Continental Congress met a scant 245 years ago to hammer out our constitution. Now look at it after decades of Democrat control. If this is the goal of the Democrats under, then what, exactly, is the point? In a kingdom of the blind, a one-eyed man is the boss.

We cannot continue to turn our heads and not pay attention to what is coming to our neighborhoods soon. Where is the logical starting point. The school board meetings. This is where the indoctrination of our children is taking place. To save the next generation we must take back control of our secondary schools.
