Bill Burr upsets people who think Los Angeles screwed up the wildfire situation…He says critics have no idea what they're talking about.
The comedian photographed a series of online comments about LA's response to the devastating infernos during an appearance on “Jimmy Kimmel Live” Tuesday night, characterizing the criticism as people sitting around in their underwear and posting nonsense.
Bill addresses a few popular talking points among critics on social media, criticizing the idea that illegal immigrants and homeless people are the scapegoats here. He says people living on the streets light fires every day to survive and doesn't believe the theory that they somehow started the fires in Altadena and the Pacific Palisades.
Bill also takes on armchair quarterbacks who question why LA couldn't get water on the fires right away… He says the extremely high winds made it impossible for helicopters and planes to put water on the fires the first night to throw.
The general feeling online is that the whole situation was mishandled… and Bill is giving those people his opinion too.

He thinks people should direct their anger at insurance companies instead – because thousands of homeowners have been dropped by their insurers recently… and ended his rant with a reference to Luigi Mangione.
Bill lives in LA and says a change in the wind saved his house from flames… although he still had to evacuate with his family.
