Sacramento Hosts Easter Egg Hunt With 500,000 Eggs, Chaos Erupts
Daily Mail – Chaos erupted at an Easter egg hunt in Sacramento when adults launched in trying to grab sweets for their children. The event was an attempt at breaking the record for the world’s biggest, with 500,000 eggs laid out for thousands of youngsters. But it descended into mayhem as parents raced into the field armed with baskets of their own. ‘There was no organization at all, they all trampled each other. Little two- and three-year-olds were crying. ‘The parents were scooping up all of the eggs for their older kids and it was horrible,’ mother Tessa Moon told CBS. Another mother, Kori Houser, told Sacramento Bee her toddler Chase only got three eggs: ‘It was crazy. Adults were trampling over us.’ Footage of the hunt, which did not break the world record because they missed the deadline to apply, shows children as young as two being squashed by teenagers and adults weave between them picking up candy. According to Sacramento Bee, toddlers were seen crying and parents were being pushed around in the calamity. Eventually, the paper reported, a screaming match broke out between parents.
Is it really an Easter Egg “hunt” if you just dump 500,000 eggs on the ground and tell kids to go grab them? Of course this is gonna be a fucking disaster. This is like releasing Jordans or Wal Mart on Black Friday. Just cramming a million fucking people into one place and having them race to get free shit. Thats a surfire way to inspire mayhem. Especially when you include kids and their parents. Parents revert to some Lord of the Flies shit when they think their kids are getting hosed. They’ll step on a 3rd graders face if it means their child gets one more egg. Tell a 5 year old right to their face “You gotta get yours, but fool I gotta get mine.” There’s a Hershey kiss or a quarter inside that plastic egg and if you think you’re gonna grab that over my child you are outside of your fucking mind, kiddo.
And while I can understand parents complaining about kids getting trampled and shit, if you’re that mom Kori whose kid only got THREE eggs you need to teach your kid to toughen the fuck up. There was FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND EGGS. Half a million fucking eggs. And they werent even hidden. Just thrown out on to the grass. And your kid walks away with only three?? Thats a problem. A blind kid could have gotten more than 3 eggs here. You gotta teach your toddler about confidence and dominance and capitalism and shit. Thats just a piss poor Easter performance.
