Take a look at the man in the picture to your right. He looks like a wimpy, whiny, nerd to me. His name is Jose Banks (40) and he tried to sue the Chicago jail that he escaped from in 2012 for $10 million. He claims that he now suffers trauma from the escape because he got scared while dangling from a rope made of sheets and dental floss. Oh, poor baby.
Banks had a fool for a client because he represented himself in the civil case that was (of course) tossed out of court.
Mr. Banks and his cellmate planned the escape for months; Banks claims that his cellmate is to blame and that he made him do it. He also claims that the guards should have noticed that he and his cellmate were chiseling an escape hole and stopped them way before their escape took place. In the lawsuit Banks also claims that he has "suffered damage to his reputation" since the escape.
Banks was caught just a few days after escaping while his fellow escapee remained at large for weeks. I guess that means his partner was the better man.
Banks isn't being charged with the escape attempt because he is already facing decades in jail for bank robbery. That's a bunch of bologna. He definitely should be charged with trying to escape. Maybe I should cause a stink and demand that he be charged. No, I don't have time for that... he's lucky.
