No, I know that's what you mean, and it's wrong. Basically everything that guy said that's specific enough or backwards-looking (so available facts to support/refute) is factually wrong. Just one example:

There's lots of different crimes, but most of them peaked in the 1980s. Here's murder:

Note: it went up a bit during COVID to 6.9, still way below what it was in the 1980s.

In a vacuum, probably just as long as any house. But with a disaster response, federal aid, insurance, and a lot of red tape probably coming into the area, there will probably be a large wait time. These houses will probably have structural damage and have possibly been removed from their foundation. If you remember the Joplin tornado in 2011 that destroyed 7,000 homes, it took around five years to rebuild ~85% of those houses, and there are still places in Joplin that are just foundational slabs. So, yeah, there are a lot of factors at play to give a good estimate on your question.

It’s very suspicious that the flyers were all signed by “Rabbi _” but neither the article nor the people quoted seem at all interested in who this ”Rabbi” and their organization are?

Something about the way this is written makes me really doubt this was written by a Jewish rabbi.

This smells like a “troll” who is probably more anti-jews, or just pro-chaos. Perhaps trying to play on the emotions of the large Armenian population in the area?

The company may just be following basic legal advice of just don't say anything and let insurance and lawyers do their work. It wouldn't make sense for the company to jump up and start writing checks, insurance will cover it but they have to go by the policy. Somewhere in the policy it might say it won't reimburse the company anything they give, but will only give it to the person injured.

I doubt the cartels would want this. They make way more by other means and even 100k is chump change for an operation taking months. There is a slim chance she’s involved in some seedy stuff. Either way I’m not certain that escalating this to an international incident will be helpful in the long run for any party.
