Is that sign for real or a joke?

It's a photoshop. The original said "...every time he leaves home."

[piasa]

Maybe he’s thinking “Anyone dumb enough not to recognize sarcasm when he reads it....”

[taxesareforever]

It will be titled, “He lived, and then he died”.

[dp0622]

If they let me in free and give me free candy and soda I will watch it and laugh out loud through the whole thing.

[Fresh Wind]

Bad things happen when you try to steal a cop’s gun.

But that won’t be in the movie.

[jimfree]

Nothing new. There have been movies about thugs nearly as long as there have been movies.

[Governor Dinwiddie]

Horst Wessel.

[jacknhoo]

Well, it is Warn-a-brother, after all. :)

[AndyTheBear]

Black males are dying
as the drug gangs war.
and Leftists are lying
virtue signals galore.

They condemn the police
while more cops we need,
while crimes never cease,
while fresh victims bleed.

Not giving a damn
they lie all the more
safe in safe neighborhoods.
Virtual signals, galore.

150 years from now, my ancestors will be fighting to have his statue, and other thug statues removed for reasons that were obvious then, but lied about.

[teeman8r]

Not ancestors but progeny, perhaps?

[CGASMIA68]

This will be the lowest total grossing flick in history

[SoFloFreeper]

studio has acquired the rights

Difference between acquiring rights and truly developing a film is significant.

Studios "acquire rights" to lots of stories so that they have the right to make a movie later.

I will be surprised if they make a flick out of this of any import.

[vladimir998]

The only movie that should be made should be about how the police officer’s life was DESTROYED over completely false accusations.

[Old Yeller]

Maybe they should “Warn a Brother” not to rob a gas station and then charge at a police officer.

Post of the Day. You win 5,000 posting points for that.

Another piece of garbage Hollyweird won’t be getting my dime for.

[Haiku Guy]

If the movie has anything at all to do with reality, it will be unacceptable.

[Deplorable American1776]

Instead of based on a true story, it’ll be based on what truths BLM say what the truth is. Will they show the business owners who got ruined by the arson and rioting?

[Popman]

Wow...better save my nickels, can't wait for this masterpiece to come out...

Maybe his loved ones can buy him a decent grave marker

[yefragetuwrabrumuy]

This b.s. will continue until their shareholders put their foot down and tell the studios to quit paying millions to make vanity projects with zero box office.

Hollywood lost tens or hundreds of millions of dollars cranking out anti-Iraq and Afghanistan war movies. Then a movie that honored an American sniper was a gigantic hit, making a ton of money. And it taught Hollywood *nothing*.
