• Jesse was running his drunken mouth in a bar and got his ass handed to him and because it was put in a book he felt butthurt enough to sue the comrad's estate. Thanks Jesse for stealing from the man's 2 kids. You really are a certified JOKE. Why don't you give your winnings to the Wounded Warrior Foundation? They need it a hellava lot more than you do, MORON. Buy them some limbs and wheelchairs.

  • Actually, I hope he goes out and celebrates with a ton of illegal drugs and offs himself!

• Jesse has proven himself to be a bigger scrunt than the troll, which is a tough position to achieve! I spit in his face!

• Looks like there is a jesse leg humper in the house..someone is giving us the thumbs down cause we insulted their hero..I mean zero...

• well, he's for raising the minimum wage. I know this is wrong, I just don't have the words to explain HOW. Also I agree with Not so just above. ty for your time. :)

• Two things, first Jesse is a dick to sue for this..Now he will always be known as the navy seal who sues girls.

  Second this is Minnesota or Minnesta as their idiot governor spells it..The lesson here is to never have a jury trial in Minnesta..those idiots loved Ventura enough to elect him to public office where he mad as ass out of himself time and time again. Apparently whatever is in the water is the same as the shit in Kalifornia...

  • I agree about never having a trial in Minn. The people here are gullible clods. Easy pickings for scammers. But I believe Jesse was elected not because he was Jesse Ventura, but rather he was None Of The Above. Virtually anyone could have beat Rino Coleman and Blowhard Humphrey. No one thought Jesse would win, including Jesse, but no one wanted either of the other two assholes either.

    • I doubt at any point that Jesse Ventura, aka Jim Janos, will understand that nobody has defamed his name as badly as himself. He has turned into the very thing type of person he used to poke fun at. He turned into a thin skinned twat.

• What a wimp. He should have gotten $5 in cash. He is like a pin prick without the pin.

• He would still be a jackass in my "optics".

  I am disappointed in the jury. The Estate is at fault for something the person said while they were alive? The hell?

• Suing a widow does not make for good optics. Right now is when Jesse can get his reputation back - he won the case in the courtroom, now he should tell the widow to keep her money. Or, if he's short of funds, take just enough to pay his legal fees.

  • Someone agrees with me: http://townhall.com/columnists/markdavis/2014/08/01/the-bitter-taste-of-jesse-ventura-vs-chris-kyle-n1873357/:

    "So, to Jesse Ventura, a suggestion: Keep the half-mil that is the award for being wronged in the pages of “American Sniper.” But refuse to take the rest. Harper Collins is editing out the offending story, which was never more than a few pennies’ worth of the book’s cover price. Taya Kyle and her children have never done you a speck of harm. Allowing them to benefit from the proceeds of a fallen husband and father’s work, which is largely a gesture of love from a grateful nation, would give you a moment of public approval that would far exceed any image boost from this courtroom victory. If it is your reputation you care about, you are entitled to say for the rest of your life that a jury found for you. And in returning the Kyle family’s money, it can then be said that you responded to a slight not with revenge but with kindness and generosity. There are few better image-enhancers than that."

    • Jesse seems a narcissist. He sadly, won't get it.
