Janos to sue widow Kyle
Little Jimmy Janos, Scruff Face, or Jesse Ventura, however you want to refer to him, has been thwarted in his quest for Chris Kyle’s book money by Kyle’s untimely death, and so he’s decided to include Kyle’s widow in his lawsuit says the Star Tribune;
Lawyers for Ventura have asked a federal court to continue his lawsuit against Chris Kyle — who was killed in February by a young veteran he was mentoring — by substituting Kyle’s wife, Taya, as the defendant. Ventura last year sued Kyle, a decorated former SEAL and author of “American Sniper,” claiming that the book’s description of a California bar fight defamed him.
“Although Kyle is deceased, his ‘American Sniper’ book continues to sell and it is soon to be made into a movie,” said Ventura’s motion, filed last week by Minneapolis attorney David Bradley Olsen.
Ventura’s lawyers said his claims survive Kyle’s death, and “it would be unjust to permit the estate to continue to profit from Kyle’s wrongful conduct and to leave Governor Ventura without redress for ongoing damage to his reputation.”
So, what, couldn’t Scruff Face find any puppies he could kick or some kids from whom he could steal their candy, he has to sue a grieving widow? This kind of shit only leads me to believe Kyle’s story, and I’m sure it won’t endear him to the court, either the legal court or the court of public opinion.
Thanks to SGT K for the link.

What reputation would that be?
one example of how bat shit crazy this dude is.

He damages his reputation every time he opens his mouth.
Trust me, he’s not very highly thought of here, either, so; why should the rest of the country miss out?
Go back to Mexico and blather on about 9/11 “troofer” theories, Janos.
Again, I’m no lawyer, but SHE didn’t make the statement. You can’t sue her, IIRC.
Fade away, Jesse. Just fade away.
He’s as tiresome as people like Phillip Dale Monkress (Google hit!!) and his minion.
Now I HAVE to buy that book.
Aaaand… weren’t the book proceeds going to charity, so no direct benefits accrue to the Kyle family anyway? I don’t know if it’s possible to get any lower than this. What a douche.
Geez, Ventura, stop being such a wacko and show some respect for a dead hero and his grieving family.
Of the few SEAL and SF guys that I’ve known, to a man, if the story wasn’t true they would have offered told Kyle to F-off and, if her persisted, offered to have the fight scene re-created for the benefit of the public to see how it would have come out. It the story were true, they would have admitted that Kyle kicked their ass. None would have gone medieval litigious. Yet more proof that Ventura was never a SEAL.
I had a friend up in St. Paul who told me 7 years ago that Ventura had made a complete disaster out of the state of Minnesota, as its governor. He now has a lot of ex-es, ex-job labels, after his name.
He’s so paranoid that, on that dumbass TV show of his (I confess to watching part of one episode only), when the Coast Guard followed him and his crew of lamebrains on a boat ride along the East Coast, he said they were engaging in a tracking conspiracy against him, or something like that. Don’t remember the exact words, but the paranoia was creeping in then.
This 2012 article has 5 witnesses who dispute his claim:

Paranoia gets worse as time goes by. If he’s this paranoid, how in the world did he manage to be a SEAL?
Or is this because he’s simply not getting enough attention?
Scumbag. He needs a punch to the throat.
Just confirming his status as a major league douche bag.
Ex-PH2: actually, there is substantial evidence that Janos never was a SEAL. He apparently did in fact complete BUD/S, but was assigned to UDT 12 and never to a SEAL team. His service was prior to the unification of UDT and SEAL. At the time Janos served, UDT and SEAL were different NECs.

I just bought the book American Sniper. I don’t know a thing about the SEALs, but I have thought about it since he was killed.
God doesn’t love ugly, and if Ventura keeps going, he’s going to hit a wall. He has turned into the most vile and despicable of men.
That is lower than whale shit.
I have “American Sniper” on my Kindle. I guess I’m gonna have to read it again.
#9 – That stupid fuckstick was never a SEAL. He was a Navy diver
@12 – Thanks for the heads-up on that, Hondo. I thought he was a SEAL because he did go through BUDS.
It still doesn’t explain his paranoia, and picking on a dead man’s wife is about as low as you can get.
this is what Don Shipley said about Ventura

You do realize that he’s doing this because he’s running out of money AND wants attention, right?
pete: apparently a fair number of folks who served during Vietnam don’t agree with Don. See the link in comment 12.
If Jesse “the Blob” Ventura passed me on the street I would trip him, then while he is laying there in the fecal position, I would ask if he wants my autograph.
This Chris Kyle kerfluffle is but one more straw. I disliked him when he was campaigning for governor of Minnesnowta, back in the day. To appease a friend, I watched a part of one of his “expose` ” shows, small part, but couldn’t refrain from laughing at the absurdity of his claims.
James Janos, aka Jesse Ventura wants fame. Here is my contribution, ala, Gooooooooooooogle hit.
He is as much a dope as is Phillip Dale Monkress. Another Goooooooooooooooooogle hit. See how that works Phildo?
While I acknowledge his UDT 12 status as a tough guy, some of the training that caused head injuries have left this dude a little light in cognitive abilities department directly affecting his ability to make adult decisions for himself…
Regarding damage to his reputation, I would ask:
This would be the same Jesse Ventura who stated the the United States and its corporate masters created Che Guevara who was basically a good guy until he saw what the US had done to Che’s beloved South America? The same Jesse Ventura who doesn’t understand WTC 7 falling because it wasn’t hit by a plane? The same Jesse Ventura suing TSA over the metal in his body creating extra screening? The same Jesse Ventura who performed scripted stunts as a professional wrestler?
One would be hard pressed to prove that any external action by other people could do more damage to Mr. Ventura’s reputation than has already been done by Mr. Ventura’s own actions….I mean take a look at this picture of Mr. Ventura http://capricorncity.com/lesson-from-jesse-ventura/
That’s clearly a picture of a man with a stellar reputation and above reproach….
There are two sides to every story certainly, in this case which side has a reputation above reproach, and which side is a fame guzzling attention whore long past their prime is as obvious as snow in Antarctica.
From the link at #22:
“Win if you can. Lose if you must. But always cheat!” – Jesse Ventura
Pretty well sums him up.
James Janos aka Jesse Ventura, (Goooooooooogle hit), had better never, ever claim to live the West Point Cadet Pledge:
“I will not lie, cheat, steal or tolerate those who do.”
You know, when I was skating, I had some falls that had me hitting my head on the ice. But that didn’t turn me into a paranoid idiot.
@ Hondo,,,,that’s a damn good link! very informative,,thanks for the heads-up
Jonn, would it be possible for you or TSO or someone to let us know what the court finds in this case? To update this post with what happens?
You know we always do our best to keep you up-to-date.
Yes, you always do. This one just sort of snagged on a mental thorn.
@6 – actually, he donated the proceeds to the families of Mark Lee and Ryan Jobs.
As I recall from interviews and from the book, there are dozens of SEAL witnesses that will stand up and call Ventura a dirty liar. I bet most of them are sorry they didn’t join in and punch him too.
I also wonder if this lawsuit is a preliminary to suing Spielberg over a piece of the action from the movie deal……Spielberg has deep pockets, as does his production company. If Ventura can steal from the widow his strategy might be to next include the movie profits and part of that take.
Forget post 31 I have had my head in my 4ss most of the day….clearly this point was already made, nice of me to notice after the fact…sorry.
@6–I’m sure it’s possible to go lower, and if anyone can find a way, it’s our boy Janos. Frankly, going into a bar and disparaging a MOH recipient (it hadn’t been awarded yet, but you get the idea) and saying that maybe they deserved to lose a few more guys is a good way of getting your ass totally kicked, former UDT, SEAL, or not.
It was a jackhole comment to make, he knows it, he got knocked on his ass for it, and he should man the fuck up and admit it–but as we can easily see, he can’t, he won’t.
Just some food for thought. IF somebody were to FOIA service records for one Jesse “The Body” Ventura they’d be rather miffed to learn, “No such name exists in our records” or something like that. So FOIA James Janos instead and wala! *instant match*.
It must suck living down in ol Mexihole, huh Mr. Janos? You gotta keep, support yourself and stay out their politics, too. Empathy was yesterday, today this SOB is wasting time. Get back to the gym and start training on banging your head on the ringmats. Then go earn a living.
I strongly suspect that this is going to backfire on Janos. There is no way this can be looked at, except as an aggressive man attacking a woman for her money who is grieving and vulnerable. There’s no other way he can paint it, and I hope it jumps up and bites him squarely on the seat of his pants.
“WTF”, is all I can ask.
And I’m already reading comments on another thread claiming that “we’re not getting the full story.” If ya’ll need me, I’ll be shotgunning tequila until they stop being annoying and you are all welcome to join me.
I had the displeasure of attending an All-services Ball at the Loew Hotel in Coronado in the Late 90s when Ventura was the Guest Speaker. He was less then a stellar performer, he spoke for a few unremarkable minutes, a good part of that was spent making ignorant and non-comical remarks about Marines. He was pretty much a slug at the time and you could tell he was a bit miffed that he wasn’t getting a lot of attention. As far as the SEAL credentials Don Shipley gives him props, Back in Jesse’s day they Had both UDT and SEALs. If you finished BUDS ( which he did) it was just an administrative chioce is you went to a SEAL team or UDT.
James Janos aka Jesse “The Blob” Ventura, (here’s another goooogle hit Jimmy), and this latest, has all the smelly odor of an overweight, over the hill skydiver making threats to a widow. Is there a flippin’ school for this kind of dumbassery?
[…] Yesterday we read that Jimmy Janos, the former governor of Minnesota and current crank, has decided to sue a grieving widow because of his chapter in her husband’s book. Today we read in the Washington Times that he thinking about running for President in 2016; […]
I have long thought that Ventura was a steaming piece of crap. I was wrong. He is a COLD piece of crap.
