"Even by Philadelphia standards"... I love Philly

EVEN BY Philadelphia standards the scene was shocking, sickening and sad:

Second-graders at John M. Patterson School in Southwest Philadelphia, sitting in class Monday afternoon, passing small, pink bags of crack cocaine among themselves.

One girl even tasted the addictive substance - clueless of the danger brought into the K-through-4 school by a 7-year-old female classmate.
