I disagree that violence would harm the movement. Nothing has ever been accomplished at a peaceful protest. Policy changes only when the pressure cooker that is youths not afraid to get arrested finally blows.
Winter is near, so there isn't enough time for the crowds to swell and anger to ramp up enough to cause rioting. However, once spring 2012 hits I think this movement is going to swell. Things will finally boil over sometime during the summer.
It's comical to see Tea Party supporters slamming OWS. Tea Party protests are senior citizens sitting in a park on lawn chairs. Liberals do it better.
