Jimmy thought he just move to a new neighborhood, set up shop and start slanging. Go up in the high school, sophomore, hardcore. Wandering how many soldiers he could recruit, dressed up keep it fresh, real cool. New jordan’s is on em’, new shoes for the new school. … see back in LA jimmy’s name was rico, dude was stuntin, nice cars, lotta birds. Dog rico was stunting. His first year in the city he was new to the shit, that was 12 years ago. He must of been about 10 years old. Rico’s uncle carlos showed him hold to use a gun. Load it, cock it, and hit on sight.

If convicted, Manning faces life in prison, an outcome the series of subway ads — which hail him as a whistleblower — seeks to avoid.

The ads, by nonprofit ad firm EpicStep and the Bradley Manning Support Network, are directed at government workers in the capital:

The military has done its best to limit public exposure to Bradley Manning’s case by holding the trial at Ft.

Let’s bring the case back to Washington! … These ads will force government workers to remember WikiLeaks and Bradley Manning, remind them that the public is behind Bradley, and explain that what Bradley is accused of doing is a public good.

Manning’s next hearing is June 6.
