How are these people not in jail? Why is this allowed? If I gathered my white, University educated buddies for a protest, and we did something similar, we'd be in jail and villified. Why is it OK for natives to do this?

I'm not sure where anyone says it is OK for them to do this.
I think it is more a worry that if the OPP take action, another Dudly George/Ipperwash or Akwesasne type of incident will occur. Especially with, as Loob Job mentions, more of the violent first nations community joining the trouble.
