JUSTICE FOR SHANNON DILL

A RESIDENT OF MISSISSIPPI AND UNITED STATES VETERAN

Shannon Leeann Dill is resident of Hattiesburg, Mississippi, and United States veteran, who served in the Mississippi Army National Guard. During Shannon’s time serving, Shannon was met withnothing but retaliation. Shannon’s civil rights, civil liberties, and human rights have been takenaway from her; as well as, her rights as a gay woman and whistleblower, protected under the United States Government and Constitution. Shannon filed several reports while she served in the Army. After filing those reports on abuse, and whistleblowing on her sexual assault, sexual harassment, bullying, retaliation, and several other instances; Shannon was then ostracized and isolated by fellow soldiers and peers. Shannon also did not receive the adequate help she needed and wanted from civilians she saw, and other peers and leadership.

Shannon first sought help, with a report to her commander Kenley Feazell and other high-rankingofficials. Shannon reported the negative abuse, from her section chief Michael Doyle Seawright. Michael Doyle Seawright would often make comments to Shannon Dill; such as, he does not like her hair and to change it. Denying her rights to see a doctor when she would be extremely sick. Telling her he does not like her perfume, and to take it off; as well as, exercising his power in making Shannon, take up most of the work, rather than shared work with her other peers. He would also call her stupid, after he would make mistakes on the computer system , that her and fellow soldiers used, to abuse her. He would even make gay comments to the soldiers; inciting homophobia, andwould ask Shannon to help advocate for his behavior. These things happened, while other soldiers stood by and watched. She complained several times, to command and those in her rank, and asked to be removed and moved away from hi, but his power over the other officials left her abandoned.Shannon was never removed, but pushed to withstand the abuse. Shannon would acknowledge that he (Michael Doyle Seawright) was racist and homophobic.

Overtime more incidents trickled into other events by Michael Seawright, where Shannon statedand reported, while at her duty positio, Michael Seawright paralyzed her body, cut-off circulation to her brain, and suffocated her throat.

She also state, right after the incident occurred, he said to her “ I treat you right don’t I?” Shannon was baffled and puzzled. Shanon stated she couldn’t even reach the phone, move, or speak. She didn’t know what just happened to her and how. She recounts having to fight for her memory back,trying to remember things, and not even knowing how she got home.

After the first incidents occurred, Shannon states, the abuse didn’t stop there, with Michael Doyle Seawright . Shannon saw several people, sit back and watch him constantly abuse her. At one point, she says that he told her that she couldn’t leave the facility, while trying numerous times to get her to the facility to see him; in which she told her command, but nothing was done but telling her to take it. Shannon recalls that Michael, stood up in her face telling her she couldn’t leave, and that she needed to sit down and shut up, followed by the question “Are you trying to leave me?” Shannon reported to several officials in her chain; even though, coworkers were their witnessing the incident and said nothing to help Shannon. When she told her command, she was told not to file a report on Michael, and that Shannon needed to have her ducks in a row if she did; while, simultaneously telling Shannon to take the abuse when she kept saying no. This was when Shannon was pulled to another unit, called the 1108^th TASMG.

Shannon eventually got calls from other brigades, where Shannon was told that Michael was stopping her career, stopping her from getting a new job, and looking into funding, to see if anyone had enough money, to even have Shannon at their unit. Shannon was torn with affliction. The issues never got resolved. Michael even called Shannon many times to get to talk to him, and Shannon told him no. Michael then started to call Shannon Dill’s command to see her; which is when these incidents took place.

Moving forward, Shannon instances, where she endured pain and suffering, while seeking help from the Sonny Montgomery Veterans Affairs in Jackson, Mississippi, and other facilities in the State of Mississippi.

In January 2025, Shannon had altercations with staff at the Sonny Montgomery hospital. An Alexander Rahkshan cornered Shannon, to tell her that he was racist, while a Matthew Anderson stood by and watched. She also recalled interactions, with an old social worker of Shannon’s at the veteran’s affairs hospital, named Sharon Sherinian; where Shannon sought treatment for trauma. She filed reports on Sharon during that time. for harassment and when Shannon talked to the director about those things, after Sharon stated Shannon was harassing her; the director told Shannon, that Sharon Sherinian was in the hospital playing with her. Beforehand, Shannon got a call from Sharon Sherinian, and nothing was wrong presumably between the two from what Shannon could remember, but Shannon’s brain wasn’t functioning properly, due to prior abuse from those she served with, and those in various facilities she visited; such as, a therapist giving her EMDR Therapy when she wasn’t licensed to do so; and without Shannon’s consent. Prior to the recent reports in 2025, am Alexander Rahkshan , the trauma program psychologist, called Shannon and told Shannon,that she would have to speak to a male therapist about her trauma and sexual assault, because he was told by a Victoria Murdy, that Shannon wanted to sleep with Sharon Sherinian; when Shannon never stated or gave any implication of the sort. Shannon was met with dishonor and affection. Eventually someone came to talk to Shannon and agreed that making that decision while other female social delete, worker in the facility was a wrong move. Shannon asked to go to a veteran’s affairs in Georgia, and even had the look into, an all-women’s facility in other states to help her, with the LGBTQIA+ problems and social worker problems within the state. Shannon would always be in the program with nothing but men, but Shannon was also afraid of another woman being there too, because of how she was treated as an LGBTQIA+ member. Shannon had problems in the program from someone calling her a “dyke”. Shannon reported those incidents, but never heard anything back from it. Shannon didn’t know what to do, or where to go, she just wanted to get out of the facility and somewhere where she felt safe, and better. She also had to call the police department while she was there twice from incidents occurring, and the police officer told Shannon that they couldn’t help her. This made it even harder for Shannon to open up, and seek help respectfully. Shannon even asked for an advanced directive to give to her parents to sign, while she was there, but they didn’t want to give her one until she left the facility, even after she asked more than one time. Shannon has asked for her reports that filed, and she still has yet to get all of them, and she had filed twice to do so.

Shannon states after leaving the Sonny Montgomery Jackson VA Hospital,she had to go and getchecked her sexual assault/ rape “, because her vaginal area and lower extremities were burning and stinging, and she couldn’t open up her legs for 3 weeks or so; she describes that it was in and an intense pain. Shannon believes this is a direct result of the interactions and altercations, from the workers at the Sonny Montgomery Jackson Mississippi Veterans Affairs. Shannon thinks in someone there doing so, to mimic Shannon’s sexual assault report filed in the military, to ostracize her even more; knowing that they could get away with sexual abuse while in the facility using things, get social worker Susan Ashley Perkins showed her, that workers there were using; and possibly using on the patients, like Shannon.

Shannon was even in dismay, where a social worker named, Susan Ashley Perkins, that picked Shannon’s case said she wanted to help Shannon; in doing so , Susan showed Shannon what was being used on her, in previous encounters in the military, and at the VA Hospital had those thingstoo; explaining to Shannon what was happening to her. Susan validated Shannon, but also dismissed her too. Susan referred to Shannon’s military sexual assault, and asked Shannonmenacingly, if she “cum” to Chaz Coleman her rapist, sexual assaulting her. As well as, implicating other people by stating to Shannon “all of you” when Shannon was mentally and physically abused, based on retaliation for sending an email to the pentagon, about her military when she was serving.Shannon states she now has a trauma bond with Susan Ashley Perkins.

Furthermore, when Susan stated those things to Shannon, it took her a long time to tell her. Susan was shown the physical abuse, by someone at the hospital, Susan never stated anything about it other than watching it, knowing about it, and saying to Shannon, after seeing it “she’s been deep before”. Shannon didn’t know what to do, on the fact that she was severely mentally abused. Susan Perkins even took up for Shannon’s abusers, by telling Shannon to not discuss it with her, leaving Shannon abandoned again.

Time went on, and Shannon had to deal with the Hattiesburg Police Department and WestWay Behavioral Health Facility. After dealing with the Hattiesburg Police Department, and being sent to WestWay for behavior; after Shannon’s frustrations and using her reactions to condemn her, she reported that someone, presumably the cops in the facility, assaulted Shannon. Shannon recalls when she left and woke up the next day, when she got home the facility, her body was stinging and burning and it was paralyzed and intense and severe pain, she messaged the crisis line, but no one sent anyone over, when she reported those things to them. As well as, she called her personal doctor Emily Schlamo, where Emily stated to Shannon, it wasn’t the medicine, when Shannon didn’t know what happened to her, implying it was someone doing those things to Shannon. Since then, Shannon has talked to her personal doctor Emily, and the doctor stated, she is concerned about Shannon’s safety, especially after, Shannon talking about the hate crime administered to her and the retaliation she received.

Shannon also reports the cops that picked Shannon up from her home, took her into custody, and the cops that transported her, and the the cops at the WestWay behavioral center all assaulted Shannon, and the proof was shown to Shannon, on what they were using on her, to move her brain, cause her pain, make her stutter, and several other incidents by her last Social Worker Susan Ashley Perkins.

Shannon detailed a lot of her relationships and experiences, in her music and books, where she self-published those written documents on Amazon and Barnes & Nobles. Shannon’s book it titled “Colors of Blue, Shades of Black”’. Shannon is currently working on and writing new books, documenting more poetry and her affliction dealing with racism, LGBTQIA+ community, police brutality, military experiences, love, life, alcohol and drug addiction, and various approaches and concepts took in her life.
