From The Los Angeles Times:Bizzi Bone, a member of Bone Thugs-n-Harmony, was beat down and robbed by - and get this - an anti-gang worker! You know that this shyt could only happen in LA, right? Soon after getting his grub on, Bizzi a.k.a. Byron McCane returned to his room at the Universal Hilton where he was accosted by several men who then beat and choked him before taking his jewelry.
According to the article,
"Police arrested Marlo “Bow Wow” Jones, 30, a contract employee for the anti-gang organization Unity One, which is hired for the city’s L.A. Bridges II gang-intervention program, according to the LAPD. LAPD officials said they are seeking other male and female suspects.
Jones was arrested Friday at 8:50 a.m. in South Los Angeles and is being held in lieu of $1.1 million bail at the Parker Center Jail downtown. An official with Unity One told The Times that Jones was terminated from his contract but that he could possibly be rehired if cleared in connection with the case.

Unity One was founded after the 1992 Los Angeles riots by Darren “Bo” Taylor, a former gang member who became a peacekeeper respected by street toughs as well as by law enforcement and community activists struggling to reduce inner-city violence. Taylor died in August."
Interesting.
I miss the Bone Thugs, though. Get well, Biz. That reminds me - Look out for my Hip Hop Music Throwback this Sunday.
