EASTER WEEKEND WAS A LITTLE DRAMATIC FOR SOME FAMILIES
LIVING IN CONNECTICUT, ESPECIALLY THOSE WHO ATTENDED
THE THIRD ANNUAL PEZ EGG HUNT, WHICH APPARENTLY GOT PRETTY
VIOLENT.
THEY HAD THIS MASSIVE EGG HUNT WITH A HIGH TERMS OF EGGS,
AND THEY HAVE DIFFERENT GROUPS OF KIDS OF DIFFERENT AGES
DOING THE EGG HUNT.
APPARENTLY SOME PARENTS BECAME A LITTLE OVERZEALOUS, DID NOT
FOLLOW THE RULES AND THEN CHAOS ENSUED.
THIS IS ACCORDING TO NBC.
ALL RIGHT, SO LET'S STOP RIGHT THERE.
NOTHING SOUNDS WORSE TO ME THAN KNOWING THAT I'M GONNA GO TO AN
EVENT THAT HAS THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE THERE, AND WANTING TO PUT
MYSELF INTO THAT POSITION.
WHAT ABOUT COACHELLA?
COACHELLA IS DIFFERENT BECAUSE YOU ARE ON DRUGS.
MAYBE THESE PEOPLE WERE ON DRUGS TOO, I HAVE NO IDEA.
I GET IT, YOU WANT TO ENJOY THE EASTER EGG HUNT.
WE HAD ONE FOR A GIVEN MY EXTENDED FAMILY, IT WAS IN
THE BACKYARD, IT WAS CALM.
THIS WAS IN ORANGE, CONNECTICUT.
IT IS NOT A PARTICULARLY URBAN AREA.
BUT IT IS POSSIBLE THAT IT WAS SET UP BECAUSE PEOPLE HAVE ñ
PEOPLE LIVE IN APARTMENTS.
THEY HAD DIFFERENT START TIMES FOR DIFFERENT FIELDS FOR
DIFFERENT AGE GROUPS.
THEY MISCOMMUNICATED, SO EVERYBODY WENT TO THE FIRST ONE.
BUT ONCE YOU ARE STIFF ARMING A TODDLER, YOU ARE WRONG
REGARDLESS OF THE COMMUNICATION ISSUES.
AND ITS EGGS.
FILLED WITH CANDY.
SEAN PETERSON, THE HEAD OF THE PEZ ORGANIZATION SAID THAT THE
PARENTS TOOK OVER.
WHAT IS HAPPENING WITH
THESE PARENTS?
IF I WERE IN THAT SITUATION, I'M TAKING MY KIDS AND I'M
GETTING OUT OF THERE.
IT IS OBVIOUSLY A SAFETY CONCERN.
THERE IS NOTHING THAT COULD BE IN THOSE EGGS THAT WILL BE
WORTH MY CHILD GETTING HURT.
THERE IS NOTHING IN THOSE EGGS THAT WILL BE WORTH ME
HURTING ANOTHER CHILD SO THAT MY CHILD CAN GET THOSE EGGS.
THE FACT THAT THIS IS EVEN A NEW STORY IS INSANE TO ME.
IS ALMOST NOTHING MORE THAT I HATE THAN BLACK FRIDAY, BECAUSE
PEOPLE TRAMPLE EACH OTHER TO GET THAT CRAPPY TV THAT IS MARKDOWN.
THAT'S A TV, THESE ARE EGGS.
ORANGE IS NOT FILLED WITH CRAZY PEOPLE, THIS IS NOT THE BAYOU.
THESE ARE SUPPOSED TO BE RATIONAL PEOPLE, AND THIS
IS ONE OF TWO STORIES THAT WE HAVE ON THE RUNDOWN TODAY,
THAT AS MUCH AS DOING FIRST HOUR STORIES MAKES YOU REALIZE
THAT PEOPLE ARE KILLERS, AND MANIPULATIVE AND THEY RIG
THE SYSTEM, THAT MAKES ME HATE HUMANITY AND OFF, BUT REGULAR
PEOPLE BEING AWFUL MAKES ME WANT TO CHECK OUT OF THIS SPECIES.
TO BE FAIR TO ALL THE PEOPLE WHO GOT VIOLENT OVER AN
EASTER EGG HUNT, NOTHING CELEBRATES THE RESURRECTION
OF JESUS CHRIST AND HURTING YOUR FELLOW MAN OVER PLASTIC
EGGS STUFFED WITH CHEAP CANDY.
