Shupert, but ...Not only have I recently lived with <br />Shupert, but I have known him since we were in grade school. <br />While living in his house I witnessesd spousal and child abuse. After catching his son wired on meth he went after his gun and swore he would kill him. Later he found a bag of weed that belonged to the same son. Who was a juvenile at the time and gave it back to him. Shupert drank heavy every day that I lived with him. Violence, drug abuse and alcohol abuse were common in the Shupert household. As a carpenter an ex employee almost died when Shupert refused to seek help, while experiencing seizures and vomiting on the job site. His explanation was "He must be on drugs" after two surgeries and three weeks in the hospital the man was released.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11646417.post-30022203614396380862009-08-09T16:54:09.422-07:002009-08-09T16:54:09.422-07:00[OK] "Regular Joe" Blanchard Mayor Greg ...[OK] "Regular Joe" Blanchard Mayor Greg Shupert "looked and acted remorseful" pleading INNOCENT (?) to bloodying wife Janice http://www.chickashanews.com/breakingnews/local_story_219135932.html/resources_printstoryBehind The Blue Wallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04429113203939514642noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11646417.post-8408809494564340062009-08-09T13:02:59.804-07:002009-08-09T13:02:59.804-07:00Mayor Shupert once stated "the media is trea...Mayor Shupert once stated "the media is treating the story as if he was an axe murderer." That is so juvenille "Oh I only stold a car it's not like I beat my wife or anything." Ask any medical professional Mrs. Shupert could have died due to a hit in the chest and or head.<br />Blown out of proportion?, let him hit you or yours in the face and see how blown out of proportion you feel! We as a society do judge people by their actions, this was a criminal act recognized by the Blanchard District Attorney!<br />And think of how many serial killers were people no one would suspect? how many had worked within a church or seemed like a nice person that even a neighbor would not have suspected. Think or say what you will but there are people in Blanchard not at all surprised.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11646417.post-61456980556602257112009-08-08T20:12:06.322-07:002009-08-08T20:12:06.322-07:00Be purged, delivered from the idea that a little s...Be purged, delivered from the idea that a little slapping around of the wife or husband is okay.

These few "isolated incidents" are what lead up to more serious things. People are not just going to hold up a red flag and announce to the public they're having problems. You can't go based on what happens in the community or in church. Things could be completely different at home and nobody would ever know. Yes, I'm sure that the family is going through a very difficult time right now with the media. However, is it not better though to have this out in the open? People that love them (community, friends, and family) can work with this family and address the issues they're having to help them put this difficult time behind them instead of letting them endure it in silence where something more serious could have happened. Mistakes do come with consequences and things do get better. I think we should thank God we're not reading a completely different headline.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11646417.post-50665078793533104162009-08-08T08:48:06.141-07:002009-08-08T08:48:06.141-07:00This incident is not isolated, a previous anonymou...This incident is not isolated, a previous anonymous blogger has not seen or heard all or is a relative defending him. I do not want to see Mr. Shupert punished so he cannot salvage the pieces of his life but please stop with the excuses! Get Help! <br />It is foolish to think this was not the first time, and if you believe so then you have been fooled. I do hope it is the last and Mayor Shupert will turn his life around. <br />Remember the minor child did not call the authorities due to fear alone, Mrs. Shupert told the child to, if Mrs. Shupert was or is not afraid then why did she ask the child to call the authorities or defend herself by kicking Mr. Shupert, is she not afraid because she can kick the man down when and if needed? I'm sure Mayor Shupert loves his wife and I have known him as a very compassionate man who is worthy of a last chance (LAST) but make no mistake you are seeing a man that has been caught and back peddling and a woman that is trapped by love. Regarding his service to the community this Hollywood is filled with examples of those taking action to divert negative attention or to feel better or shadow the guilty consience.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11646417.post-52218570061555329822009-08-08T03:56:40.464-07:002009-08-08T03:56:40.464-07:00Is that really what you meant to say?Is that really what you meant to say?Behind The Blue Wallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04429113203939514642noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11646417.post-67391920700719623252009-08-08T00:39:52.111-07:002009-08-08T00:39:52.111-07:00Before I begin,I feel that this story has been blo...Before I begin,I feel that this story has been blown way out of proportion<br />If Gregg would have went home and killed or critically injured her, this would be a different story but lets all face reality. This is a domestic dispute, not with murder or serious injury, but with a minor injury.<br />But I know, we have a couple and a family here, who sincerely love each other very much, and now there's a case against the husband,.even though they've worked our their problems and all is well now..<br />What is it about all of us that makes us want to judge a man after he's made a mistake? I mean a very good man. Greg is one of them. He has done more than all of us put together for this town and so many others. What he deserves is the metal of freedom, not prosecution! <br />I only wish there were a lot more couples like them!<br />They have adopted children plus their own. Both him and his wife have been outstanding parents to those kids. Over the past,I've spent countless hours around the family and I never saw the slightest indication of violence. I've went to the same church with the family. <br />I've never met a man who's given as much, let alone more to help others than Greg Shupert has done. Greg is a volunteer firefighter for Blanchard and he also works with FEMA as a volunteer doing work in other states fighting floods,fires,helping redistribute supplys and often rebuilding {especially after katrina}. How many people do we see doing that? There are very few willing to do what he has done for various communities,especially as a volunteer! We're all vulnerable to mistakes, but it seems were not all so grateful when it comes to thanking a man like Greg for all his service. It's something we can no longer take for granted! And on the next emergency you can bet Greg will be one of the first one's to the scene! I believe anyone who knows this family will agree.<br /><br />Richard UAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
