Good, gently caress that dead guy for making book money off killing people and making up stories about punching a cast member from predator.

So if the guy is dead who pays Jesse Ventura?

Or is it like a figurative million dollars.

Book money I'd imagine.

Maybe he was setting up another situation where he could shoot someone then write a book about it.

Libertarian sues over someone using freedom of speech in a book. lol

You don't understand defamation of character, libel and slander. He absolutely should have sued over what happened.

Yeah, the guy used Ventura's name to sell more books. If he had never named Ventura by name, then it probably would not have been a case.

And apparently the book made quite a bit of money

Not only that, but it ruined his reputation with the public and military personnel. He also makes his money through politics, which was greatly compromised by these lies. Like him or not a person can't make up stories to defame people, make a profit and ruin their careers without repercussions. Satire is fine of course.

Also the insurance company for the books publisher or some poo poo paid for everything including the 1.8 million payout while Ventura had to pay out of pocket for his lawyers.

It's pretty disgusting that this douche bag is held in such high regard for what boils down to shooting fish in a barrel.

Oh don't worry about that he ruins his own reputation quite enough with the majority of people he interacts with on a daily basis.

Wacky political views aren't comparable to saying seals should die and then getting knocked to the ground like a bitch.
