OutLaw Gangster Disciples

The OutLaw Gangster Disciple Nation is a subset of the Gangster Disciples street gang. It was formed in the Chicago Housing Authority's Cabrini-Green public housing project on the Near-North Side of Chicago, Illinois in the early 1990s, by Gangster Disciple board member and Cabrini resident Charles "Big Chuck" Dorsey. It has now branched out to the South-Side of the city.

Gangster Disciples in the military
Gangster Disciples have been documented in the U.S. military, found in both U.S. and overseas bases. Graffiti characteristics of the Gangster Disciples have reportedly been spotted in U.S. military bases in both Iraq and Afghanistan.

Symbols, Signs, and Emblems
Like most major gangs, Gangster Disciples use a well-defined system of symbols to communicate alliances and rivalries. This system is a combination of symbols representing the Gangster Disciple Nation or the Folk Nation as a whole and symbols that rivals use to represent their organization, typically inverted to show disrespect.
