“We experienced a ... very heinous type of attack that harkens back to a dark period of this country’s history,” partygoer Katya Dossous said in a statementA newly released video shows a group of mostly Black partygoers getting sprayed by a water hose by a neighbor while attending a surprise birthday party in Queens, but the neighbor claims his actions were justified and not motivated by racism.
“I’m videotaping the neighbor throwing water at us,” the woman videotaping the incident can be heard saying. According to the lawsuit, the guests at the party included Rose’s friends from Fordham Law School, her alma mater, as well as Rigo Morales, cofounder of the Recording Academy’s Black Music Collective.
Shortly after that, Rosebrock allegedly “took his water hose and began water hosing" partygoers in Duroseau’s backyard “to get them to disperse, creating a scene reminiscent of 1960’s Birmingham, Alabama, when White law enforcement officers used fire hoses to douse, assault and batter African Americans participating in civil rights demonstrations in an attempt to get them to comply and disperse.
“Water hoses have long been used against people of color. Mr. Rosebrock chose this specific method with the intent of dehumanizing us,” she added. “It was deeply disheartening and demoralizing to be subjected to a hateful crime at Doctor Duroseau’s home, during a joyful birthday celebration for my friend of 30 years.”
