Non violent protesters can cause all sorts of change. Martin Luther King Jr and Gandhi come to mind. Of course, they knew what they wanted and could articulate their goals in a meaningful way, unlike the occupy#### folks.
I said leaderless, unfocused non-violent protesters don't cause change, and I stand by that statement, when responded to in its entirety.
