"I've never felt this before, the mixed feelings that I have," Hailie said of the emotional toll of seeing his lifelong dream after 20 years in this country turned to ashes."To come down to this, believe me, is just heartbreaking." "We were very sad to see what happened that day. We totally understand the anger of the people who are out there for justice," said Abaineh."If this is what it takes to bring justice to unfairly treated [people] all these years, then we're fine, we'll be OK. It's just the business that we lost and can rebuild in the future."
Hailie said Bolé"was more like a home than just a business," especially for their diverse neighbors, who have rallied to support the beloved restaurant. "We were staying open during the pandemic because so many people needed our help," Abaineh said, adding that they gave discounts and even free meals to many local families."We are more concerned for what's going on in the country right now. It's very sad to see all that chaos and businesses that lost a lot, but it's beyond us."
