Q: What kind of person publicly threatens to hunt down and rape his rival’s four-year old daughter?

A: One of Clear Channel’s (former) finest: DJ Star, a.k.a. Troi Torain

Go ahead. Absorb. Let the nausea subside.

Yesterday, I received glad tidings of Star’s termination (Thanks, TAN), but my relief quickly dissolved when I discovered just WHY he had been fired; during one of Torain’s pathetic, IQ-reducing morning shows, he took a dispute he had with a nemesis— DJ Envy—to unprecedented levels of hatred by describing exactly how he wanted to hurt his rival’s innocent little girl. Wow. It is a truly special, powerful man who threatens to defile a child. If anyone needed further proof that Clear Channel was concomitantly useless and evil, look no further than their taste in employees and their amazing ability to reclassify hate as entertainment.

I understand that beef makes for tasty ratings, but apparently Torain’s favorite meal came from a Mad Cow. Only a wasted, sick brain could conceive of and enthusiastically rant the following:

Star continued to digress about Envy’s child, saying, “Yes, I disrespected your seed. If you didn’t hear me, I said, I would like to do an R. Kelly on your seed, on your little baby girl. I would like to tinkle on her.” Even more, the now-removed radio jock stated, “I’m coming for your seed. Did you hear me? I want to do an R. Kelly in the mouth of your seed, fam… I want to put some mayonnaise in between your baby girl’s ass crack and take a bite.”

Quite predictably, Torain was relieved of his duty to shock listeners by spewing filth, but I want to know what took them so long. And I don’t just mean the many hours which Clear Channel enjoyed before canning his ass, I mean these many months. I guess when your transgression involves an innocent Indian call center worker, it’s easier to forgive and forget. No respect please, we’re rat-eaters.

If Clear Channel had any kind of soul, they would have dumped Torain after that example of his intrinsic cruelty, but they don’t, so they continued to remunerate him lavishly, thus ensuring that even more fecal matter would leave his worthless mouth. Much like children who have tortured kittens and puppies are practicing for future, human victims, I think that this descending spiral was predictable and thus, preventable. Shame on you Clear Channel. I rebuke you because your erstwhile star is shameless.

We live in a very nasty world, where demented people can be inspired by far less than the vitriol of a DJ with pedophilic tendencies. I don’t think DJ Envy’s Asian/African-American wife Gia Casey (who was also savaged by epithets like “lo mein eater”, “whore” and “gook”) can be faulted for fearing what Torain or someone like him might do. I also don’t think that ANY Mother should EVER have to say the following words:

“When a man says that he would like to tinkle in the mouth of your little girl and ejaculate on her face - that will make any mother extremely frightened.”

Sick, sick, sick. And just in time for Mother’s day. Did I mention that Torain bragged about how he carries a gun? Oh, wait, there’s even more to offend and horrify you: he offered $500 to any listener who could provide information about the four-year old’s whereabouts.

Somebody holla at me and tell me about his whore wife and his kid. 866-678-8270. Somebody get at me about his whore. His whore wife and his kid, this little ugly ass kid, I hear. Where does this kid go to school? I got five hundred bucks for that information.

Go ahead. Absorb. Let the nausea subside.

Perhaps this is what’s needed, to wake up radio personalities from their extended slumber in retard-land, since it often takes something as sad as being on the receiving end of pain to develop empathy for others. I know that DJ Envy was a part of that unforgettably tasteless “Miss Jones in the Morning” show which thought mocking tsunami victims was funny, which might be why he’s laying low and letting his wife speak out against Star’s verbal assault, but as enraged as I was about the unbelievable callousness of the “tsunami song”, I don’t think anyone deserves to be threatened like this, least of all a little girl who had nothing to do with any of it.

I know that the Manhattan DA is looking in to the controversy, but I can’t wait for some of our resident desi esquires to weigh in with their thoughts on how probable or feasible any kind of legal action is in this case. I’m obviously crossing all digits that there’s a way to punish such shittiness.

What’s almost as disturbing as the incident itself is how blasé some are about it; I don’t care for arguments I’ve read which dismiss this as a mindless stunt meant to shock and nothing more. I think there is something very wrong with a man who thinks such vile things about four-year old girls, especially when he’s so proud to publicize his desires on air. I’m mired in disbelief that anyone, even someone as unremittingly sadistic as Torain would think this was acceptable speech or behavior. You don’t say words like that about babies. You can’t just take them back and suggest you were kidding, because it’s beyond the realm of satire, of decency, really. I didn’t think “Star” could shock or infuriate me more than he did when he proved he was a craven, clue-free racist, but then again, I didn’t know he was also a pedophile.

UPDATED: Ever-vigilant mutineer and garbanzo bean Chick Pea reveals that Torain’s ass might just be held accountable. YES.

Via the NYT:

A syndicated disc jockey with one of the city’s leading hip-hop radio stations was arrested this afternoon for making on-air threats to track down and sexually abuse the 4-year-old daughter of a rival, the police said.
Troi Torain, the disc jockey known by the name D.J. Star, was charged with endangering the welfare of a child, the Manhattan district attorney’s office said. Law enforcement officials had launched an investigation into his remarks on Thursday after reviewing a transcript of his recent rants about D.J. Envy and his family.
The police called Mr. Torain to police headquarters in Lower Manhattan this afternoon and ordered him to surrender his target pistol license and his weapon, a .9-millimeter handgun, they said. When he arrived, he was arrested by detectives from the police department’s Hate Crimes Unit, they said…
On Thursday, council members held a second news conference and insisted that they would not be satisfied unless Mr. Torain was prosecuted. The lawmakers have also called for a Federal Communications Commission investigation.
