Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Whatcha think about Jesse Ventura suing Kyle widow?

How I feel about it depends on whether the incident happened or not.

Seems like the OP is a wrestling fan that has his panties in a bunch because his hero got laid out. This happened and there are witnesses and Chris Kyle told me the story personally when we were hunting together. He was excited to expose a lot of Jesse Venturas lies under oath. Jesse Ventura has lied about his service and alleged missions he had been on. He is a clown and it says a lot about the OP to side with that nut job over a real SEAL and a real American hero. Makes me want to puke actually

As for him killing two guys attempting to steal his truck, it's also a true story and it's one he also told me personally. There were witnesses there as well and the there was video. There are other parts to that story that I'm not going to mention but that are pretty interesting.

I find this thread classless and useless. Regardless of your personal opinions about Chris Kyle there is no denying that he served with valor and distinction on the battlefield and he fought to protect your right to say stupid $hit.

Huntsonora,

I just wanted to know how folks felt about the subject. I do think Kyle stretches the truth in grandiosity and it could be the reason his killer killed him. Many times two narcissist equal a death.

No you didn't, you wanted to take shots at Chris which you did a number of times. Don't try to disguise this as you just wanted to see how others felt on the matter. At least be a man and own it. I can see why you are hysterical over the deal, you and Jesse have a lot in common.

He was killed by a sick mother [bleep], that's it. Quit trying to rationalize the irrational behavior of a sick man and using that as a platform to degrade a friend of mine.

Narcissist huh? What a joke. Chris was a humble man. You know how much be personally made from the sale of his book? Any guesses? ZERO! He didn't make a dime. He gave it all to the families of his fallen teammates. You know how much he talked about himself while I was guiding him? Not very damn much. He talked about his family, his business partners who are also friends of mine and he talked about his teammates. We talked about hunting and fishing and made plans to bring a friend of his that lost a leg in battle up on a hunting trip with us. I've hunted with a lot of narcissistic a-holes but Chris wasn't one of them. Trust me when I tell you that you can get a pretty good feel for a guys personality, his morals and values and get an overall sense of what a person is like in a week of hunting with them and Chris was one of the classiest guys I've hunted with. Chris didn't like it somebody called him a hero and actually got pissed one night when we started talking about it at the dinner table. He put his country and his teammates first, every time. You are judging a man because he answered questions honestly in interviews and because of that you feel he is a narcissist. Tragic

Jesse Ventura is none of that. He is an egotistical prick that craves attention and he's willing to sue Chris's family to get that attention and that's the guy you want to side with. Tells me all I need to know about you.

Hey, I couldn't care less about the subject but obviously some do. As a retired GI, I really don't care what y'alls interpretation of my meaning is. I think its funny as hell some of you think its necessary to write a dissertation of a dumb subject.

Whether or not he is a friend of yours, doesn't make you an expert or hero by association. Kyle is no more important than the people sorting mail bags.

"Chris didn't like it somebody called him a hero and actually got pissed one night when we started talking about it at the dinner table". This tells me all I need to know, its still a means of getting attention. There is a large difference between a narcissistic sociopath and and the egotistical. You wouldn't know any of this though, because you are ignorant of the field.

I think he lied, but I'm not a Jesse fan either. Your momma did a number on you punk.

Not me, doesn't take much of a man to take money from a widow and fatherless child. Taya Kyle has enough to deal with, without spending time and energy on a stupid lawsuit.
I think a lot less of Ventura for his actions now, than whether or not he got his azz kicked. He is a stain on the SF community.

Suit of the estate is a formality to bring in insurance coverage. Any judgment or settlement will likley be paid by insurance.

Barkoff, I have an answer for you. I am as much of an authority on the subject as huntsonora, Both our opinions are completely irrelevant.

I used flex duct for the arms of a robot for the youngins, what should I use for the eyes?
