Anyone familiar with Mexico City universities immediately understands what went down last night in #UCLA: The pro-Palestinian student encampment on the campus was attacked by "porros".

A porro is an individual who uses violent means to help achieve certain, often political, goals at universities there. The "grupos porriles" have been called the "shock troops" of Mexican universities.

Crazy to see them in action in California.
