Silence!..I Sue You!

You know, I am deeply disturbed about his whole Ventura vs. Kyle lawsuit that after two in a half years, finally came to a close the other day with the verdict going to Jesse. This is indeed a sad world that we live in when men disagree or think that they have been wronged instead of settling it like men, they sue for "Defamation of Character" WTF? If any of you have been following this then you are probably just as distraught as I. For those of you who have no idea what I'm talking about, allow me to enlighten you...By now you all know who Jesse Ventura is. Former Governor of Minnesota, former wrestler and also former Navy SEAL. He has also recently been host to the reality show "Conspiracy Theory With Jesse Ventura" and if your into conspiracy theories, it's a great show to watch. I myself am not too much into that, but I do not take anything for face value either. There's always another side to the story. Which brings me back to this lawsuit. Now Chris Kyle, also a former Navy SEAL and war hero of Iraq and Afghanistan, who was murdered last year by a troubled war vet, was on a talk show a couple of years ago and said that he had an altercation with Ventura at a wake for a SEAL brother back in 2006. He said he overheard Jesse talking about how he did not agree with the war in Afghanistan, and how the U.S. has turned into " baby killers" murdering innocent civilians. After hearing this, Kyle said he walked over to Ventura and tried to get him to just shut up and keep his political beleifs in check because at the moment they were saying good by to a brother, and it did not seem appropriate to everyone else around. ( Jesse was actually there to speak to a graduating BUD's class)To which Ventura replied " Sometimes SEALS deserve to die". Kyle stated that after that remark, he punched Jesse and left the building before the police could arrive. Jesse Ventura denies this ever took place, and basically called Chris a liar and thus began the lawsuit for defamation of character. I believe the whole thing never should have gotten this far. It doesnt matter if it was true or not, Jesse should have settled this dispute like a real man. Instead he wound up continuing the suit even after Chris Kyle was murdered and filed it against his widow. He won the verdict and was compensated 1.8 million dollars. In my book, Jesse Ventura is a coward and has defamed himself by his own actions. Yes it is a sorry world that we live in when you can sue a dead war hero over a fight story. Money, that was what this truly was about wasn't it Jesse.
