Gangster Disciples

The Gangster Disciples is a Chicago-based street gang founded in the 1960s. It originated from a combination of various groups, primarily focused on drug trafficking, organized crime, and territorial control. The gang is known for its distinctive symbols, such as the six-pointed star and the numbers "6" and "3," which represent loyalty and unity. The Gangster Disciples often engage in criminal activities, and they have a hierarchical structure with leadership and ranks. Over time, they have expanded beyond Chicago, influencing gang culture across the United States. Their activities have drawn significant attention from law enforcement.
