THE MEAN STREETS OF PHILADELPHIA: WEST PHILADELPHIA’S BIGGEST CRIME

[@joelashadali]

Those old homes are nice and sure they are constructed rock solid. The loss of manufacturing decimated this city.

[@juniatapark54]

Graves from the late 1800's seem particularly poignant. Graves earlier than that feel 'historic', the lives of the people harder to imagine. People from the late 1800's seem closer to us, easier to imagine, yet now they're largely forgotten, their graves not visited.

[@gustavoacosta215]

West Philadelphia really Has to be the worst part of Philadelphia not even Kessington has crime like down there

[@worldwarz9317]

respect for being brave enough to film a nasty city like philadelphia. Even more so west philly where each and every idiot has a gun in the pocket. You are a better man than me. I would never freely walk around in a place were nobody values human life holding a camera with only my goodwill and no licensed protection of my own.

[@ThePhillyCaptain]

It’s the greatest city in the world.

@Thephillycaptain who knew that park would be a major crime scene Years later of a mass shooting in front of Religious people

[@bigjakejacobs3628]

[@elizabethshaw734]

It is such a shame that we lose those churches and they just turn to rubble as time goes by.

That’s west Philadelphia not southwest

[@vorraussichtlichgestern8113]

Thank you for your video! Nobody on the street (work, shopping)? No thanks.. If I had to live there in America,.. I would use some drugs right away. simply desolate. The churches are dead, the house facades too, looks like a film set but the cars are nice and clean

The holy spirit is not going to make you scared because you're going through an old building why would he be there in an empty building let's go back to he dwells in our hearts our Temple our body not in buildings created by Stone and wood

[@30215PAPE]

Where is east Philly? Camden?🤣🤣 U mean northeast?

[@ThePhillyCaptain]

30% of my viewers do not live in the United States. I said East Philadelphia just so they could get a picture of where I was coming from. I live in Bridesburg. It’s not quite northeast Philly and if I said the River wards nobody would know what I was talking about.

[@30215PAPE]

@@ThePhillyCaptain I jus never herd anybody ever say East Philly in my 38 years on this earth but Bridseburg could be considered northeast if u look at Philly ona map it's directly east of North. I know what u saying tho it's different names for different neighborhoods and technically the northeast like Mayfair/ oxford circle/holmaseburg/Tacony etc. but some ppl say north and east of Frankford /Tacony creek is northeast and some say once your past Frankford is🤷🏻 guess it's all bout perspective. But be careful over there it a warzone over there not far at all from where u are in this video

[@TERMINATORT8OO119]

One thing I was really trying to make clear graveyards can go sour that means negative spirits can dwell in there also that's why I don't visit graveyards after the dead is buried keep their memories alive the good memories in our minds it is just a shell left of what was there not there this spirit is not trapped Underground I don't think Yeshua or Jesus what do that to us I believe it goes directly back to the father or Goes to Hell

[@malcolmwhite6637]

What was your problem with reading that historical marker....nothing controversial about it ...just Black history!!

[@ThePhillyCaptain]

I judge all of historical markers across the city. I don’t think this one belongs.

[@TERMINATORT8OO119]

What you said about Will Smith as really not even true you talk about Fresh Prince of Bel-Air that has nothing to do with his real life and he didn't move because he threw a basketball at some bad guy don't believe everything you see on TV not even the news man and I think you'll be ok I believe Will Smith move because he was closer to his movie sets and he makes more money period

[@ThePhillyCaptain]

I don’t think your have the same sense of humor as I do. Be warned there are lot of jokes and sarcasm.

[@joelashadali]

Philly was a Pagan Mc town
