Riddle Friday

Four criminals, all facing the same direction, are on a few steps in a line. The fourth man is separated from the other three by a wall. Because of this, the first man can see the second and third man in front of him, the second man can only see the third man, and the third and fourth men can see no one.

Each criminal is wearing a hat, but they don’t know which color their own hats are. They are told, however, that there are two black hats and two white hats among them. 

They are instructed to shout out their hat colors once they’ve figured out which color it is.

They also have been given rules: They may not move or turn around at all, they may not speak a word to each other, and they must not take their hats off at any point. Assuming they all follow the rules, which one of them is the first to speak up, and why?
