Not everyone was receptive to the protesters' message. Many people passed by without looking up from their umbrellas or taking the literature that that was offered. One Harvard undergraduate even stopped to argue.

"I walked by and I was very interested in peace," said John Sullivan, a local libertarian activist who spontaneously decided to join the vigil.
"Our presence [in Kosovo] can only make things worse," he said. "I'll probably come back next week."
The next day, the Serbian Alliance of New England (SANE) and Organizers of Serbian Students International held a vigil against the bombings in front of the Boston Public Library.
Serbian Americans feel like targets of attack in this country, demonstrators said.
Wearing black buttons with a bull's eye and the word "Target," and waving signs like, "This is not a Nintendo game" and "CNN-tell the truth," about 100 people gathered in the third such vigil since the bombings began in Kosovo.
