The Peppermint Unicorn

Eleven years ago today, April 14, 2012, I was raped by Montgomery Alabama Police Officer Michael McCord. I am tired of the news media ignoring my story. I am tired of the apathetic population of Montgomery not giving a fuck that I was raped. I am tired of tweeting and writing about all this tragic shit. But it is the only way I know to get my voice heard and to get justice for the horrible crimes that happened to me and my Mom at 3156 Cloverdale Road, Montgomery, Alabama. 36106. My Mom was murdered and no one in Montgomery cares.

So today I got the balls to drive to Michael McCord’s house in Montgomery. I will not let the memory of what he did to me eleven years ago affect me any longer. I will not keep standing by waiting on his PERP WALK in front of Criminal Investigations Division at 1751 Congressman Dickinson Drive. I was told by the MPD on April 05, 2023 when Special Victims Unit took my rape report that they would treat me fairly. I was told they would treat McCord and myself the same as they treat other cases. When you report a rape someone gets arrested. I have not seen Mike McCord arrested yet. Why does it take ELEVEN YEARS for someone to get arrested for rape in Montgomery?

I intend on traveling to Washington, D.C. to protest the treatment I have received in Alabama. I will let my voice be heard there since no one is listening here. I want the 1994 Violence Against Women Act enforced in Alabama. It is just ridiculous that I even have to do that. How many other women in Alabama have to get raped, assaulted, and murdered? The women who are reading this in Alabama, who do nothing to help other women in danger, are just as guilty as the perpetrators in my eyes. You could be next and what if no one helps you? I did not think any of this could ever happen to me either.
