According to Fox News, fans of "Aqua Teen Hunger Force" mocked Boston officials during the press conference of Berdovsky and Stevens, calling the arrests an overreaction, while holding signs supporting the actions of the two. These signs had slogans such as "Free Peter" and "1-31-07 Never Forget", satirizing Mayor Tom Menino's mentions of 9/11. Newspapers quoted local residents, including "We all thought it was pretty funny", "The majority of us recognize the difference between a bomb and a Lite-Brite", and that the police response was "silly and insane ... we're the laughingstock". "Something Positive", a webcomic written and drawn by Waltham resident R. K. Milholland, also weighed in on the issue.
