The owner of Gandhi Mahal, a (very delicious) local restaurant in South Minneapolis that was damaged in the fires last night: "Let my building burn, justice needs to be served."

'Let my building burn, justice needs to be served'
The owners of Gandhi Mahal, a Minneapolis restaurant that was damaged during overnight protests, released a powerful statement on Facebook.

"We won’t loose hope though, I am so greatful for our neighbors who did their best to stand guard and protect Gandhi Mahal, Youre efforts won’t go unrecognized. Don’t worry about us, we will rebuild and we will recover," wrote Hafsa, the owner's daughter.

"Let my building burn, justice needs to be served,” the owner said, according to the post. "Gandhi Mahal May have felt the flames last night, but our firey drive to help protect and stand with our community will never die! Peace be with everyone."

1. It's his building and that's fine but

It’s not incumbent on anyone else to feel that way.

2. I think it's a fair guess most people don't feel that way.

I am also having a hard time understanding how burning a building is going to bring justice about.

5. You're taking it literally

I think they mean that the building means nothing compared to justice for the community.

3. This generosity is beautiful.

4. Truly in the spirit of Ghandi.

But probably more generous than anybody would expect.
