Durk Banks, an aspiring rap artist, wannabe gang-banger and career “gun” criminal caught another rap in recent days when police showed up at a house in Orland Park at 5am. What did Five-Oh find?
They didn’t find the occupants just about to get out of bed and get ready to go to work.
Instead, they found Durk Banks – aka “Lil Dork” 0r “Durk” or something like that – hanging in the kitchen with a Glock .45 auto and a Springfield .45 auto sitting in plain sight on the kitchen counter.
Lil Dork’s attorney claims his client wasn’t in possession of said guns. However, Lil Dork himself told the po-po: “I got those pipes (guns) ’cause (expletive) always be tryin’ to take my bands (money)!”
English, Lil Dork. Do you speak it?
From the Trib article:
Banks last appeared in a courtroom in August, when he pleaded guilty to gun possession charges and was given probation.
…Banks had faced up to five years in prison after Chicago police saw him toss a loaded Glock handgun into a car parked in the Englewood neighborhood in 2013. He was on parole at the time for another gun charge.
…Prosecutors had recommended Banks receive at least a year in prison or a term of intensive probation, but Judge Joseph Kazmierski Jr. sentenced him to 18 months of probation and the 43 days Banks had already spent in jail.
The judge urged Banks to be “part of the cure,” saying the rapper could continue to use his celebrity status for anti-violence causes. Kazmierski also ordered Banks to do 50 hours of community service at CureViolence at the University of Illinois at Chicago.
At the time of his arrest on Green Street, Banks was weeks away from finishing parole on a conviction for aggravated unlawful use of a weapon. In that case, he was caught in the 6400 block of South Eggleston Avenue on Oct. 9, 2011, with a gun that had its serial numbers defaced, records show.
If it weren’t for the fact this guy would probably victimize innocent people in his criminal enterprises, we think the best “sentence” would be to let him remain on the street as his life expectancy can probably be measured in months, not decades.
