Philadelphia drug users migrate to Kensington to get hand outs that help feed their addiction, activist says
PHILADELPHIA – Giving food and providing other services to drug users in Kensington, a well-known open-air drug market in the City of Brotherly Love, only encourages dealers and perpetuates addiction, a local activist told Fox News.
“The best way I can describe Kensington is it’s a war zone,” Dennis Payne said. “Kensington was given to the wolves, and the wolves are running with it.
Payne spoke in front of McPherson Square, locally known as “Needle Point Park, where everything drug-related is taking place.” The activist started the EyE of Kensington Facebook group, which acts as a sort of message board for the neighborhood.
