The comedian also criticized the media’s coverage of Thompson’s killing: “We can’t have white guys in suits getting whacked.”
“I was sitting there reading an article, and a guy was like, ‘Oh my god, he’s such a great guy, He had a wife and kids, and he’s such a great guy,’” Burr began.
“They’re gangsters dude, f---ing gangsters, and then when one of them gets whacked or something they’re like, ‘Oh my god he was such a good guy.” It’s a dirty game,” he said. “Healthcare, dirty game.” “Why is there this level of coverage?,” Burr added. “Somebody gets gunned down in New York every f---ing day, now all of a sudden these experts have to weigh in? That’s because of the status, we can’t have white guys in suits getting whacked.”
Thompson was shot outside the Hilton Hotel in midtown Manhattan on Dec. 4 at around 6:40 a.m., just before he was scheduled to attend an investor meeting. The investigation surrounding his murder is still active and ongoing, and the suspect remains at large.
