SAN DIEGO — A 24-year-old man suspected of firing into a crowded Colorado movie theater late Thursday, killing at least 12 and wounding 59 others, graduated from Westview High School in San Diego, near the Rancho Peñasquitos home where his parents still live.

Suspected shooter James Holmes graduated from the high school’s inaugural class in Torrey Highlands in 2006, then earned a bachelor’s degree in neuroscience from the University of California, Riverside, school officials said.

Holmes enrolled at the University of Colorado Medical School as a neuroscience graduate student in June 2011 but voluntarily left the program last month and was in the process of withdrawing from the school, said Dan Meyers, a spokesman for the university. Meyers said he did not know what prompted Holmes to withdraw from the university.

James, we know you didn’t do this shooting. Somebody did it for you.

Probably all of those pointy-headed lefty professors that worked to get you your Phi Beta Kappa.

After all, we know conservatives can’t get a decent break in liberal education. So, you must have really scored high on the LIB meter.

Wonder what we’ll find in your apartment scribblings and posters?

Curious what the picture was. Media jackals surround house where suspect’s parents live - probably in search of any Tea Party or Republican affiliation to blame the attack on.

One can only hope that an out-of-control garbage truck happens to go right through the “media” area in front of the house.

If they did that in front of my house, no matter what the reason, I’d be in that car with the transmission in “reverse” and punch the gas pedal to the floor.

If I lived in that house I would have been out the back door and over the fence by now.

Exactly! Somebody find his Twitter account. Let's see what he had to say before it's taken down.

Me too. A more fun alternative would be to walk out to my van and ask them to move so that I can leave. When they pepper with questions, repeat the exact same words until they actually move. If they refuse after three requests, pull out the cell phone and call 911 for loiterers refusing to clear my driveway.

They should go outside and tell the reporters “Our son was a huge supporter of Obama and was excited about the upcoming election so he could vote for him and that Obama has made him the person he is today.” The news would back off in seconds.

The good news is that he is alive. It means that after some waterboarding we can find out what was going on.

I thought the exact same thing, but thought it was such an old reference nobody would get it.

They've got the "Bubble-Headed Bleach Blondes."

Actually all the lyrics of the song apply today.

This is what we're calling freedom of the press nowadays?

The first amendment means media people can get paid to pile all of their s*** in front of someone's home and harass them mercilessly?
