On July 28, 2016, I posted a link to an article on the Facebook page of the Unitarian Universalist Association. The article concerned the killing of 19 people and injuring of 25 more in a facility for people with disabilities in Sagamihara, Japan.
I followed up via Facebook messaging on Aug. 5, 2016 to the UUA and to Peter Morales, then the UUA president. As an autistic person person who for several years had been involved with UU, I was concerned that an organization that immediately denounced violence based on sexual orientation and race, had issued no reaction to a mass killing that was directed toward people with disabilities. What was different about the taking of these lives, that the UUA remained silent on this issue?
