I worked in a prison (level 1-3) and have over 10 family members who served time in prison. My own brother is currently serving life. Once the drugs wear off, friends on the outside die, the girls and bros stop answering calls, kids move on, and these dudes lose their mind in prison and become mentally dead. I've seen it with my own eyes. Momma, if you have one, is the only person left in the world who actually give a dang about you. Once momma die, you left alone for the rest of your life until you die.

Im grew up in the UK, and my uncle moved to The States from London in the early 1990s and he lived in both Pittsburgh and Philly during the 90s as he studied his doctorate in medicine over there. He trained as a doctor and treated gunshot victims in a trauma centre and victims of gunshot wounds came in almost daily. Philly was even worse than Pittsburgh from what he told me and the 1 time I visited, my uncle drove me through North Philly to the nice safe suburb at the edge of the city where he lived and it truly shocked me how rundown, poverty strjcken and destitute the inner city in Philadelphia was, especially Kensington, I could see why many people in those environments turn to the streets.

[@Coilygirl1]

[@buckets267]

Im from North Philly and man you said it well. It's so easy to turn to the streets but you have to fight to stay out and I try to explain how vicious and run down looking Philly is, its the definition of what a trecherous hood is ... I pray my city gets better and the whole world.

[@rjflores438]

@buckets267 Yeah, and conpared to the inner city areas in the UK, Philly and other American inner cities are on another level. Aaron, tje documentary maker of this film is actually from Birmingham in the UK, and he actially grew up in a pretty rough neighbourhood there where there was some gun violence in tjat area, I was born on London but grew up in Manchester, a city about 80 miles north of Birmingham, and the area I lived in was probably one the roughest, and I used to hear gunshots probably every 2 or 3 weeks, and this was back in the early 90s when the UK had a gun violence issue concentrated in a few areas of the main cities, but it wasnt a nightly thing like what goes on in inner city Philly and it its worse wasnt that bad compared the the cities in the States. We have an issue with stabbings now, but in the main thankfully people still tend to sort their differences out with fists instead of weapons. When I waa in the U.S.A visiting family, I was always wary of retaliating back with aggression to anyone who had an issue with me or started a confrontation, which did happen, because of the fear they could have a weapon they could hypothetically use. I hope Philadelphia starts to put some real changes to lower the gin violence because it is such a great city with so many good hard wlrking people and the people deserve better.

it’s harder than you guys think… public schools , friends , the young kids having babies (us) & when we graduate it’s almost like if you don’t go to college you have to pick a side between your friends or go your own way and make new friends and it’s just difficult bro

[@TonyS-u7z]

I knew dude in the white tank top was better than this life when Aaron asked him ‘ What’s this area known for ‘? and my guy replied “ it’s known for nothing and having nothing except the school “ I knew he was different from the usual fake guys you see in these videos that would’ve replied all proudly it’s known for shooting and killing like it’s a good thing. I knew my guy had brains and was bigger than this bs when he said that. My guy in the white T top if you read this comment I wish you all the best bro try and find a way out of this nonsense. I know that’s easier said than done especially in the states at the moment but you can be the change your kids need to see. All the best from the UK 🇬🇧

Frfr i think that most folks that jump off the porch is simply looking for a family that can rely on when shit hits the fan. I feel as though that’s why there is so many murders because going on drills is something most people would back out on, meaning they wouldn’t have their backs in sticky situations. My black brothers and sisters(and my white brothers and sisters)have been betrayed either by family or the system they can thought they could rely on. Single parents households,bullying, poor living conditions, racist cops, injustice for all the killings happening all over the world is just fuel for my broken brothers and sisters😢. I hope most people in this video see the wickedness of their living situation and try to escape before it’s too late…

I have family in Mayfair, a tiny neighborhood right next to Kensington. When we used to take the (PATCO )speed line from Jersey and then the L (Frankfurt line) up we used to get off at the K&A stop and take the bus to their house and in about 2010 it was nothing like the walking dead that part of the story comes in with fentanyl. The gun violence was always there but it has multiplied to the extent that we haven’t gone over there in years because it’s an actual war zone. I love Philadelphia and this really hurts my heart to see such a great city go through this.
