"When it came time at like 10:30 a.m., the parents just bum-rushed that area," West Haven resident Nicole Welch, who attended the event with her 4-year-old son, said.

The free event drew hundreds of people, but it quickly got out of hand, according to parents.

“Unfortunately people chose to enter the first field prior to anyone from Pez staff starting the activity. The crowd moved to the second field, waited for only a couple of minutes and proceeded to rush the field without being directed to do so and before the posted start time,” Pez officials said in a statement on Saturday.

Pez officials said the crowd of people “immediately moved to the third field, took over and removed everything well before the activity was to even start.”

"So we started talking to people and say 'hey this is supposed to start at certain time'," Pez General Manager Shawn Peterson said. "Well that lasted about a minute and everyone just rushed the field and took everything."

Welch told Eyewitness News that children were trampled, parents knocked over children and eggs were stolen out of peoples’ baskets. Peterson said the crowd was "kind of like locusts."

There you go. I hardly ever go to free public events. They bring out all the trash. It's just not worth it.

Did Pez say there was an egg with $10000 in it or something? This is just ridiculous.

It's not free events that are the problem. It's free events that give out free stuff that are the problem.

Folks with no manners will not ruin an event that isn't offering them free stuff. Why would they bother to come unless they are being paid with free stuff. They certainly didn't attend to be a positive part of the community or to celebrate the Resurrection.

I won't go to free events that give out free stuff. The last time I did, the free stuff didn't last long enough and the folks that didn't pay for the free stuff and didn't get the free stuff were mad because they didn't get the free stuff that they didn't pay for but deserved.

TL/DR: too many people suck these days.

Events like this are not what Jesus had in mind when he decided to die for our sins.

From Conneticut! You'd expect this kind of thing from white people from Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama.

What did they expect to happen? Easter is for family. Who goes to some big sponsored event? I wouldn't

Screw that lady in the video for trying to blame pez for "jeopardizing her childs safety".

Pez was trying to do a good thing for FREE, and PEOPLE not Pez's people ruined that. They should expect civilized behavior to a point.

Which is exactly what the "victims" here are displaying, an entitlement.

Then he shouldn't have risen from the dead to put on a bunny costume and hand out chocolate eggs.

I saw somebody in Facebook complaining about something similar at a church in Texas. Shameful
