    If someone can flip Kensington into a positive place, that person should run for President. Tough times call for Great Leaders
  • My Name is Pat I am this guy I have almost 5 months sober now. Thank you for making me feel like I am a person and I matter. Thank you Brandon
  • @nicknack6042
    I was an addict in a recovery house just like Pat and I saw people like him going back out and getting high and coming back to the house. I thank my lucky stars that I lived in a spot owned by a hard ass no bullshit old as dirt sober alcoholic who would wake up from a dead sleep because he could sense someone coming home after curfew fucked up. Mike ran a tight ship and it saved my life. 9 years clean, have a career, own a home. If not for Mike I could be Pat. Thank you Mike and RIP.
  • @sseraphim3999
    Pat made me want to cry. You can tell he is a genuinely nice guy he deserves to get help :(
  • I know pat from a program. He was my roomate. Very very good guy. I witnessed him give away clothes to people that didnt have anything along with countless cigarretes to people that couldnt afford them. Im rooting for you man. Please break the cycle bro your worth so much more than this🙏
  • @asa3409
    So sad. My son was on meth and I never gave up on him. After detox and recovery, he was with me and he started NA pretty much every day. He’s over 5 years clean, great job, has his kids, and fights it everyday. We’re best friends and I see him almost every day.
  • @Chazer45
    I feel so bad for Pat, childhood trauma really does leave real wounds. I hope he makes it out.
  • @julius43461
    3:39, That "assassination time" moment was like something from GTA. Something that an NPC would say.
  • @dalayneejo
    seriously one of the first videos i’ve seen on kensington that isn’t just straight up poverty porn. thank you for showcasing these real people and their real stories rather than just exploiting their predicament for clicks.
  • @drewjeers815
    That first guy seems so cool. Prayers to him & his cat. I hope someone watching this reaches out.
  • @Zultzify
    coming back after hearing pat is sober and doing well really paints a new light on this video. it shows how at times it takes one small event to change someones life, a little compassion and humanity goes a long way. im gonna be more nicer and understanding to addicts now.
  • @notime4892
    I used to run around Kensington I now have 7 years sober and a beautiful life. It’s possible 💕
  • @DarkExploration
    People have been milking Kensington for views for years. But this was by far the best documentation of what's going on the streets, and behind the scenes. Great coverage of the truth Brandon 👍
  • @sharpiefumes
    its freaky how lucid and aware they are of their own situation but seem either completely unable or completely disinterested in rectifying it, instead they just tell people to stay away and save themselves
  • Thanks man. I work in Kensington with homeless youth. Most of you tuber kenzo content seems dramatized and exploitive. This was really accurate and kind. I took off today because I desperately needed a break from seeing the horrors of kenzo and the limited resources we have to help our case load. Seeing this and that people do care did make me feel better about it today. Thanks again.
  • @jimmygreenuk3357
    I’ve stop this video to just say, the empathy and concern you show to the people your speaking to is refreshing. Most people mock them but you can see you care.. love from England.. God bless the lost souls and condemn the misleading
  • @tookool5616
    Best of luck to Pat. That guy sounds genuine and hope he gets help.
  • @nesra8786
    Cameraman deserves a raise, offering his vape first, then saving a life. Chad Chaddington right there, also great camerawork.
  • @rachelwalker1723
    The level of self awareness these poor souls have of there situations is.. well, haunting 😢
  • @annazimmerman69
    I have just found your channel and am seriously impressed by your humanity and courage. Thank you for this - it needs to be shown. Don't touch drugs, everyone.
