  1 killed in home invasion near Woodlake; pot apparently the assailants' target

  A 30-year-old man was shot and killed north of Woodlake late Sunday night during a home invasion in which the assailants took marijuana from a grow behind the house, the Tulare County Sheriff's Office said Monday.

  Raul Gonzalez of Woodlake died of a gunshot wound he suffered during the invasion by two to four people in the 37000 block of Millwood Drive about 11 p.m., the Sheriff's Office said.

  Two other people in the home escaped and were not injured.

• Distracted lawmakers

  Distracted lawmakers

  Texting is illegal. Talking on a non-hands free phone is illegal. Now I understand our superheroes at the state Capitol are drumming up a law that will throw texting and talking on a non-hands free phone out and in its place will put a new law: "distractions" while driving will be illegal.

  I am in shock at how those who are supposed to be providing for the well-being of Californians are abusing, once again, their responsibilities. I guess, if this new law passes, no one can ever again be pulled over for speeding. As you know, if you take your eyes off the road long enough to look at your speedometer, that is a distraction -- and that could very well be against the law.
