You can’t arrest the zombies.
It’s their human rights to get high on drugs and wander around mauling people on the streets.
This is pure values, in a democracy, because that’s who we are.
A new bill would impose curfews on some businesses in Kensington’s open-air drug market as addiction and crime run rampant in the Philadelphia neighborhood.
City Councilmember Quetcy Lozada introduced a bill on Thursday requiring some commercial establishments and restaurants to close between 11 p.m. and 6 a.m. if they are within a specific area of the Kensington neighborhood, including the infamous Kensington Avenue.
The proposal is one of the latest to address issues in Kensington, an area that has become the epicenter of the city’s drug crisis.
“In order to address the crisis in Kensington, we need a better understanding of who is there and what is happening,” Lozada, whose district includes Kensington, said in a press release.
You need to send in the National Guard.
This isn’t complicated.
Kensington, known internationally for its excessive public drug use, is among the Philadelphia areas most impacted by overdose fatalities, according to city health department data.
Over 1,400 people citywide died from drug overdoses in 2022, an 11% increase since the previous record-high the year prior.
On any given day, drug users can be seen scattered across the sidewalks, injecting themselves with needles as blood trickles down their arms.
Others stumble across Kensington Avenue in a stupor or passed out on the pavement with fleas covering their gruesome, flesh-eating wounds from the addicting animal tranquilizer, xylazine.
The neighborhood has also become a focal point for high crime and poverty in the City of Brotherly Love. Kensington had among the worst violent and drug crime rates citywide over a 30-day period ending Jan. 26, according to data compiled by The Philadelphia Inquirer.
Oh, wow?
Loose junkies AND crime?
What a grave misfortune that both those things would coincidentally happen in the same locale…
Kensington, a neighborhood in Philadelphia, has been grappling with drug addiction for decades, but the situation has reached new heights with the emergence of powerful substances like fentanyl.

It’s out of control.
Everything that is happening is cartoonish and unbelievable, and people are petrified by it because it is so absurd and seemingly unreal.
People are frozen and can’t react, because they see this stuff and think “this can’t possibly be real, my eyes and ears must be lying to me.”
Meanwhile, the younger generation – which is mostly gay – grows up thinking this is all normal reality, and the way things are supposed to be, because it’s all they’ve seen.
I agree with the Jews – we need some kind of “great reset.”
I don’t see any other option.
I have a different vision of what such a reset would look like, however.
