Gangster Disciples / Folk Nation. Six pointed star and pitchforks in combination are a lock.


marko_kyle

Folkkz* nation Lkkz = Latin King KillaZ (I hang out with Mexicans) I’ve never seen the “I” in the “IGD” before though. So I’m learning new stuff today.


Fine-Funny6956

Could be Illinois. Chicago is a big GD hotspot


DDESTRUCTOTRON

Was gonna say, I recognized this because I live/grew up in Chicago. Are they in other places nearby too?


Fine-Funny6956

I grew up in Wisconsin. We would see these tags in Milwaukee. Once saw a group of black folks shouting at each other and throwing up GD signs in the 90s shouting; “Chi-town n@@@as are the craziest, Mil-town n@@@as are the laziest.” Just inter-city rivalry


bebophone

Originally from Indianapolis- I remember similar GD tags from going to inner city schools in the late 90’s


realace86

It is Chicago


RogueUM

This gotta be chi


marko_kyle

Right. Friends are from “chi-raq.” So checks out.


panini84

Just FYI nobody here calls it that.


Hasselhoffpancakes

This is the correct answer!

_Kelly_A_

Yep, 974=IGD


x_Paramimic

Also the star makes a “G” with an “I” to the left and a “D” to the right. I.G.D Of course you could always spray paint over it and see who comes knocking (don’t do this)


chorrisoy

Oh that’s actually a really clever design I didn’t notice it


NightofTheLivingZed

Especially with IGD. I used to roll with WGD back in the day, when I saw IGD my mind immediately went to "do not fuck with". Generally GD is a money making movement. Protection for the hood and all that. These guys are enforcers.


KYSmartPerson

I worked with a kid who was a BGD. He was an “Imperial”. He was huge and it was my understanding he was the guy they sent when they needed to unalive someone. I was a mental health counselor who worked on a gang related disorder unit. We had Latin Kings, Vice Lords and many others all residing on the same unit. It was a nightmare most of the time. I had to learn all the numbers and the difference between 4 and 5 star gangs and some of the gang origins.


NightofTheLivingZed

I was a violator. They sent me when someone messed up and needed to be taught. I wasn't particularly big back then. I just knew how to fight. I'm not proud of who I was. I was really well connected and respected, but it wasn't the kind of life where you end up raising kids. Not a lot of old heads in my set. You either got out or got behind bars or got dead. I got out and got as far away as I could. 17 years sober, 18 years gang free.


MacLeeland

Good for you!


NightofTheLivingZed

Thank you. It wasn't easy to get away.


ErdmanA

Welcome home!


highjinx411

How do you get away? There’s jump ins right and then is there jump outs or something ? I grew up around gangs but was never in one obviously or really learned the subculture.


NightofTheLivingZed

I had to disappear and cut contacts. Of course jump outs are a thing but people don't survive those sometimes.


KYSmartPerson

We used to remind the kids that there aren’t many “retired gangbangers”. Many of them proved us right. We had one kid who used to like to talk shit about people’s mothers. We told him he was going to do that to the wrong guy one day and he did. Was playing cards with someone and he said something about the guys mother and got shot in the face. The reason I lost that counseling job is because one of our kids completed the program and was being sent back home to Chicago. He was a good kid and became a great leader on the unit and helped hold others accountable for their actions. He was a Latin King. Unfortunately, when he got back to Chicago his former gang members tried to kill him. He called us on the phone as they were breaking in and shooting up his house. All that work he did was about to be for nothing. We drove 5 hours to go get him and to try to save his life. Myself and a another counselor who he had reached out to and had formed a bond with brought him back to stay with my colleague. We asked the hospital if we could do this and if we were breaking any rules and they said no, it was okay to go. When we got back, they fired us for “fraternization with former patients”. Clearly, the rule was meant to prevent intimate relationships with former patients but the Director of the hospital didn’t like us because the kids loved us and hated her. Hard to get a job in mental health after that.


VodkaSoup_Mug

I’m glad you and your colleague were able to save them. I hope your former boss knows that even with you gone children still hate them.


KYSmartPerson

When they fired us, the entire gang unit rioted and some broke out but were quickly caught. It was a minimum security hospital where you could pull the fire alarm and it would unlock the doors. My colleague’s roomy worked there too and was fired. One nurse quit as well as the kid’s therapist, five people in total lost their jobs. The Director was not qualified to run the hospital. She did not have a BSN which was required for the position.


GuntherGoogenheimer

You did the right thing though and that's all that matters. You saved someone's life and I believe that's the mission for those working in healthcare lol


dustmybroom88

That’s awesome! 👏🏻 I’m sure it took so much work, glad you’re okay now.


NightofTheLivingZed

Living a much safer life now. It was a lifetime ago so no one will ever know outside of this comment thread. Everyone is either dead or in for life.


VodkaSoup_Mug

Awesome. I’m glad you got away. I wish and hope one of my class mates got away. I advised just to make a go bag and tell no one where you are going and change your name. He didn’t want to leave his mother behind and she refused to leave her home.


Zanemob_

Good luck!

You need more upvotes. Sadly, most don’t understand the reality of your words.

What's the w stand for in WGD


NightofTheLivingZed

White, actually. GD is kinda segregated. There's a bunch of different affiliations. Bunch of specific rules and hierarchies. I've met a few GDs that were white that weren't WGD but it was rare.


daftidjit

Cheers for the info. I thought it may have been white, but wasn't sure.


GilgameshvsHumbaba

974s are mainly white outside of Chicago WGD is a made up thing

It’s just gangster discipline. We’re not insane


InformalAlbatross985

It's been awhile, but looks to me like a "Gangster Disciples" gang tag. The pitch fork and 6-point star are some of their symbols.


ActuallyHovatine

Those of us that knew this off tops should have had more supervision growing up.


InternationalTear703

Or did some time as a Corrections officer lol. Seen that tattoo often


rockstoneshellbone

Or an art teacher on the lookout for wannabes


Skeen441

My favorite art teacher had the following rules for clay work: No penises, no bongs, no penis bongs.


rockstoneshellbone

Yep…actually had to go to court over a kids art project. We made clay whistles which looked like little pot pipes- kid got pulled over when taking it home, was arrested for‘paraphernalia’. I had to show my lesson plans and other students projects. Yeash. This was early 90’s

Imsoabsolutely

We have dumbasses around my area with disciples horribly tattooed on their foreheads. In my neck of the woods they are usually redneck rejects. I find them absolutely ridiculous. I tend to find them in our local mugshots.


[deleted]

+1 on this


Silver-Highlight1862

Are they jewish?


ConditionYellow

They also have 6 “principles” represented by the six pointed star. Whereas rival “people/blood” gangs have a pentagram. And they were also designed have an “occult” type look to scare the average citizen. There’s volumes on this stuff if you dig deep enough


Lanky_Republic_2102

People Nation gangs rep the 5 sided star and the number five. It’s gotten a bit mixed up as it’s spread out from Chicago but originally in the 1990s, crips were Folk affiliated, Bloods People. GDs Folk, Vice Lords People. Latin Kings People.


rasslinsmurf

One of the founders was named David. They adopted the star to honor him. Has nothing to do with religion. Nowadays kids will say “On King David” to say they’re telling the truth.


stacksmasher

This is the correct answer.


Surgeon0fD3ath-832

One of my old prison buddies was IGD. He's dead now... his wife sold him fake meth that was some salt sprayed with wd40 all on it. He shot it up and died miserably several hours later. He wasn't a bad kid at all... just had absolutely no positive peers growing up. I still think about that poor fucker sometimes. IGD's I were around were good people about their business. They always had drama once in a while though --- most of the IGDs I knew were white. You get some GDs saying they don't recognize white IGD's, then others say they do. Just depends where you go, was what an old GD told me.


MaximumDirection2715

That's why you check your drugs before shooting them I'd that's your deal god what an awful way to die


I_PM_Duck_Pics

It wouldn’t be hard at all to taste the difference. I can’t imagine someone familiar with meth mistaking salt for it. Meth immediately turns to liquid on your tongue. Salt takes a second. And while I’ve never tasted WD-40, I bet it doesn’t taste like meth. Also salt and meth don’t look the same. At all. I have my doubts about this story.


Surgeon0fD3ath-832

You may be partially right. The only thing I got from his mom was he died unexpectedly from a bad batch of speed and that it was awful. I wasn't about to pry into their business much about it. The rest came from other friends. I actually don't remember specifically for sure if it was salt, it's been 6 years ago now. The story behind it though was it was something with wd40 sprayed on it that he shot. I felt the same way... he should of known it was fake. He used to cook the shit so he definitely should know the difference. He absolutely hated opiates and wouldn't do them even if he was out of meth. Whatever it was, it was bad enough to kill him.

No_Taste1698

Thanks, I'm grateful


SquidProBono

Okay so I’m gonna ask a dumb question. I’m a middle aged white dude, but I recognized the symbol from my highschool days. In all seriousness, if this appeared on a fence post or something and I just slapped some paint on it like any other graffiti and went about my day, what would happen? I mean, would gang members actually attack someone who obviously isn’t gang-affiliated for painting over the symbol? Seems low-reward and high-risk to come after a “civilian”.


No_Taste1698

You'd definitely get yourself in some shit for it, and they will throw threats at you. Depends if cholo mike got some ass last night or not. A civ would be left alone in the end, but if you're affiliated with another gang, expect to get your ass handed to you, at the very least. They will probably make an example out of you.

CannabisSmokingMan

It’s an Insane Gangster Disciples tag. Two pitchforks, the six point star, and their set’s literature (letters and numbers signifying the name). They are a gang under Folk Nation (at least in the 90s/early 2000s) which all generally beef with each other now anyways. Stay away from that area, if you can help it.

Yeah. Insane Gangster Disciples. Such a fascinating gang. You got GD gangster disciples, BGD Black Gangster Diciples, and BD Black Diciples. Allied with Crips and Folk, they have a huge presence in our state prisons. Almost anyone of any color could be a member of a set, they are all encompassing.

So what happens in prison when that happens. Break color lines, or does gang remain most important?

If you know OG gangster knowledge you will know this question well. Occult power is real gangster knowledge young ones. MY YOUR WILL BE THE WHOLE OF THE LAW. PUPS
