From Minnesota Uprising Arrestee Support: “Matthew Rupert grew up in Galesburg, Illinois with his loving parents Linda and Michael, his oldest sister Kristy, Middle sister Kari, youngest sister Karen, and brother Christopher. His father became sick when Matthew was young. He passed away December 6, 2012 leaving Linda a widow. Matthew’s mother was a CNA and is now on disability due to medical conditions. Matthew has been financially and physically supporting his mother. Matthew and his partner have been engaged for 2 years and planned to get married very soon, they have been together for 3 years. Matthew is a great father figure to his partner’s 2 children. Matthew has several African-American friends. Tyler Smith was murdered in his hometown by police and no one was arrested, Matthew went to protest over Police killings, not to “riot” and loot! Matthew is facing 9-11 years in prison, which is well above the statutory presumption.”
