=Four Corner Hustlers=

Type Of Gang
Street Gang

Origins/History
The gang was founded in 1976 in West Garfield Park. About a dozen teenagers from the neighborhood banded together for protection from other gangs, their leader being Walter Wheat. In the mid 70's, heroin flooded the streets of Chicago and the Four Corner Hustlers took part in selling it. Soon, they expanded so rapidly due to the amounts of money being brought in, that Wheat quickly lost control and slowly backed out of his leadership.

Location/Turf
West Side of Chicago

Characteristics
The number "4" followed by a "C" and "H". In the early age of the gang, drug use was forbidden and all members were required to get an education.



Criminal Activities
Robberies, drug trafficking, prostitution/pimping, general hustling, and "gangbanging". Gangbanging is killing another gangs member(s).

Impact On Society
At first, Robert Wheat kept members away from drugs and helped them stick with getting an education. But now, with him dead, these "laws" of the gang aren't enforced heavily. Specifically because there is a power vacuum within the gang. now, the Four Corner Hustlers impact on society is still highly negative. They are pushing drugs, committing felonies, and recruiting more members at a more rapid rate with no sign of slowing down.
