Another example of an SGI leader's depraved indifference to human life

Here is something to mull over. On December 13th, 1997, one of our members, a simple minded, lonely, schizophrenic gentleman moved to North Hollywood. He was doing quite well and went to the SGI Culture Center located a block from his house in order to chant with others. He was hardly capable of realizing the profound differences in our respective faiths and he is extremely trusting.  The person in charge at the time, Edwin Wooley, began talking to Navin and learned he was a Kempon Hokke believer and Nevin showed him his Omamouri Gohonzon. Mr. Wooley proceeded to remove it from its case, despite Navin's protestestations, and tore it to shreds, claiming it was an heretical object. Navin subsequently became quite despondent and ran away to Northern California. He is, at the time of this writing, living in a shelter. We lodged a protest with the SGI. Can you imagine any of our believers doing such a thing to another human being? It is unthinkable. Mr. Wooley's was an act of depraved indifference to human life. There are too many people like him in the SGI.
