  1. Hope he's happy with his blood money. He'll never get his reputation back after suing a hero's widow. Nor will he be welcome at any future SEAL functions, I'm thinking.

    1. Agreed. Suing him would be one thing, but not his widow. Don't know what he was thinking about.

  2. As a Minnesotan I am offended with the fact Ventura even sued Chris Kyle, Ventura is nothing but pond scum

  3. First class a##hole! I hope he chokes on it. Of all the loud mouths in the world that shouldn't be suing anyone for what they say Ventura leads the pack.

  4. If all is what it appears to be, woe unto Jesse.

  5. I figured Jessie would have a lot of money in royalties from "Predator" and "Running Man""- so much money from his great acting career that he would have laughed off the Cris Kyle incident.

  6. The sad thing is that he sued Chris Kyle's estate. She (his widow) is not getting the money from the book. It goes to a trust for wounded warriors or some similar charity.
    So what Jesse has done has taken the food off her table. I don't know. I think if someone started a fund to pay the Jesse off for her I'd have to swallow hard, hold my nose and send a check. It's not right that she is saddled with this even if he did defame Jesse.

  7. There was a time I admired Jessie. I understand kind ot his problem with Chris and the law suit. If Chris was still alive then what is will be what is. He now has proved his point and with Chris dead if Jessie had any class he would take one dollar from his widow and call it even.

  9. Well I guess we now have a somewhat new version of Jane Fonda for the OIF and OEF Vets to hate. Seeing he was talking shit about the SEALs and what not, and then sued after getting smacked in the pie hole, us younger Vets now have our own urinal targets to made?

      You know that might be a money maker. You ought to see how much it would cost for a small run.

  10. Jessie is pretty well done. I don't think anyone will be able to tolerate the smell after this move.

  11. Kyle bragging about punching a 55 year old veteran is pretty low in the first place.
