The number one movie at the box office this weekend was ‘American Sniper’. Since being released, the film has stirred up bit of controversy. And now, a billboard in Brentwood has been tagged with the word “murder!”.
People Magazine caught a pic of the billboard at Wilshire Boulevard and Bundy Drive:

The movie has been the subject of some backlash, the most prominent being this Tweet from filmmaker Michael Moore:
My uncle killed by sniper in WW2. We were taught snipers were cowards. Will shoot u in the back. Snipers aren't heroes. And invaders r worse

And another from actor Seth Rogan:
American Sniper kind of reminds me of the movie that's showing in the third act of Inglorious Basterds.

But it did give Sarah Palin a chance to use the phrase “Hollywood leftists” in a Facebook post:
Cops say that no police report was filed and they probably would not be able to catch the culprit even if one was.
