Former SEALS Back Ventura in 'Punch Hoax' Lawsuit

Former Governor of Minnesota Jesse Ventura's lawsuit against Navy SEAL Chris Kyle over Kyle's claims that he punched Ventura in a bar for insulting a dead U.S. soldier has gone to court, with Ventura receiving the backing of several prominent former SEALs who affirm the incident never happened.

Kyle claimed that he met Ventura in a bar in Coronado in 2006 while Ventura was in town to speak to a new class of SEAL graduates at nearby Naval Amphibious Base Coronado. Also present were family members holding a wake for Michael Mansoor, one of the first SEALs killed in Iraq. Kyle claims Ventura began loudly objecting to the war in Iraq before calling the troops "murderers" and saying "we deserved to lose a few guys".

Kyle then claims he punched Ventura, knocked him to the floor, and quickly ran away.

The story was included in Kyle's book, American Sniper: The Autobiography of the Most Lethal Sniper in U.S. Military History, and during a subsequent television interview on Fox News, owned by News Corp. which also owns the publisher of the book, Kyle named Ventura as the man he "laid out."

After Ventura found out about the claim, he immediately instructed his lawyer to file a lawsuit against Kyle for defamation, asserting that the incident never took place place and that he had witnesses to prove it, having only visited the bar in question once before.

Back in February, Kyle filed a petition to have the case moved to U.S. District Court in St. Paul. Ventura considered dropping the case but after being contacted by several prominent former US Navy Seals, was "ordered" to go ahead with the lawsuit after Kyle failed to agree to a settlement that would have seen him admit to lying and pay attorney fees.

One of those ex-SEALs is Ventura's former instructor, the widely respected Terry "Mother" Moy, owner of the bar where the incident is alleged to have occurred.

Fuck chris kyle, all that psychopath serial killer does is brag about his killcount in iraq as if it is just a video game

[thanethagreat]

I respect the skill of a sniper but don't brag your life away about picking off Arabs who really don't have any skills from a bush a mile away

[clay25420]

Respect the skill of a sniper? Why? All they do is learn how to shoot a specific type of weapon, at distances it was meant for, they get paid to do it.. That's like saying I respect a Gynecologist for their knowledge about vaginas or a police officer for knowing what laws he is supposed enforce. So I agree with your overall statement, but c'mon, snipers are just people, they shouldn't get respect for their job title but by their actions

[MASTRCHIEFMOE]

The illuminati tried to destroy jesse's reputation by paying this chris guy to talk shit about him and when he failed they had him killed.

Just food for thought, who knows what the hell happened lol.

@USMCHCORE Why? He did not even fight against a real army, just some iraqis upset about the senseless invasion. Iraq never even had any WMDs which means the US was never in danger. I bet your still dumb downed and brainwashed enough to believe he was fighting for your protection and freedome. Plus Al qaida came in iraq after the invasion they were never there before the invasion on march 2003.

[USMCHCORE]

You are a fucking piece of shit he has done more for this country that you will ever realize. He is one of the toughest, hardest americans ever to hit the battlefield and is not only a decorated war hero but a now deceased decorated war hero. You on the other hand are a little bitch that sits of his computer faps and talks tough. Chris Kyle was allowed to brag about his kill count because its a fucking record. He's a true blue warrior mother fucker. And i hope you burn your a waste of oxygen.

[cpriest347]

I can't believe the amount of disrespectful motherfuckers commenting on here. Chris Kyle was not a murder! But he obviously wasted his fucking time defending this Country so that you cunts can enjoy your freedom of speech.

[Kmg0]

Actually he said it was just a number, and that Carlos Hathcock was a better sniper than he ever was. I liked his book, even if I disagreed with him on a lot of stuff... It helped me understand his viewpoint.

[helicopterraids]

kyle got killed off before the court case

the testimony of the bar patrons in court would have destroyed ventura

decredit kyle then set up a court hearing and then kill him

ventura/jones = guilty

@Ali Rizwan it*

[Ali Rizwan]

@TheCentralServices No karma was gonna get him anyways, he invaded a country, blowed peoples brains out with his rifle, came back and bragged about wearing his little punisher hat. Those that live by violence will die by violence.

[TheCentralServices]

Your wishes have been heard. Chris Kyle is dead now. His blood is on your hands, lol.
