In what sounds like a fantastic display of appropriate grown-up behaviour, apparently a public Easter Egg hunt in Laval descended into chaos and anarchy as 10 000 people literally jumped a fence to start the hunt ahead of the proscribed time, with the following description from the CBC:<\/p>\n
Displeased with the delay in the start\u00c2\u00a0of the hunt, some parents disassembled the fence, causing both children and parents to lurch forward ahead of the scheduled depart time.<\/p>\n
\u00e2\u20ac\u0153The hunt was supposed to start at noon, but some people arrived at 9:30 a.m. and got impatient,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d said Cocothon organizer Angella Pattas. <\/span><\/p>\n
\u00e2\u20ac\u0153It was really the beginning of the loss of control.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n
Some children got pushed over as others ran forth to scoop up plastic eggs containing treats.<\/p>\n
Other youngsters came away with nothing \u00e2\u20ac\u201d especially after some parents snatched eggs out of other children\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s baskets to give them to their own kids.<\/p>\n
Luckily, no one was injured.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Yep, nobody was injured, except civility, common sense and good judgment.\u00c2\u00a0 Clearly those casualties were evident at this event.<\/p>\n
Obviously if there IS a time where knocking children to the ground in a mob-maddened scramble for a few cents worth of shitty chocolate is perfectly fine, it must be at Easter time.\u00c2\u00a0 You would never get away with this kind of crap at Halloween, hip-checking little Disney princesses and Spidermen out of the way to get some Twizzlers.\u00c2\u00a0 Nossir.\u00c2\u00a0 That’s a refined, proper holiday.<\/p>\n
