    Jason Devine, Bonnie Devine, and Other Male Attacked in Home Invasion


    We had heard yesterday that Mr. Devine and other anti-racist activists had flyered a neighborhood where Aryan Guard members were believed to have lived.

    Last night Jason, his wife Bonnie and another male staying with them were attacked in their home by five individuals. The Devine's four children were asleep and unharmed thankfully.

    Anti-racism coalition member targeted in home invasion

    A Calgary anti-racism activist was the victim of a violent home invasion overnight.

    Police are looking for several suspects after five masked men armed with blunt weapons broke into a home in the 5400 block of 8 Avenue SE just after 1 a.m. Monday.

    The men were armed with bats and hammers when they barged into the house.

    Two men, a woman, and four children were inside the home. The children were asleep and unaware of the incident.

    Two men were assaulted and needed medical attention. One had a broken arm that required surgery, and the second sustained injuries from weapons and hand strikes to his body.
    The five masked men then fled the scene in a dark-coloured SUV.

    Jason Devine, a member of Anti-Racism Action Calgary, says he lives in the home and was beaten on the back with hammers. Another man was also injured.

    Jason's wife Bonnie Devine ran unsuccessfully for mayor in last month's municipal election. Jason claims he and his wife were targeted for handing out anti-racist pamphlets.

    The police have no confirmed suspects at this point and are also trying to determine a motive for the attack. Police will be responding to this incident later this afternoon.

    Anyone with information about this violent offence is asked to call Crimestoppers at 1-800-262-TIPS (8477).

    Jason provided the following information himself concerning the incident:

    At 1:30 AM 5 males carried out an armed home invasion on the house of Anti-Racist Activists Bonnie and Jason Devine. Bonnie Devine recently ran for Mayor of Calgary in the 2010 municipal election. This is the most recent in a long line of attacks on the Devine's. Every time their 4 children were asleep in the home.

    The armed assailants overwhelmed Jason and a friend who was visiting. They repeatedly beat Jason and his friend with blunt objects. His friend was bludgeoned throughout the head area and sustained a broken arm. Jason was surrounded as each assailant took turns beating his head, back, body, arms and legs, sustaining stitches and a concussion. Both were rushed to the hospital to receive treatment.

    It is believed the attack is related to the recent leafleting and postering, by Anti-Racist Action Calgary, of a neighborhood where neo-nazi's are known to live. THIS WAS NOT A ROBBERY and reports to the contrary are incorrect. Again nothing was stolen. Later it was discovered their family vehicle was also damaged while the assailants fled the scene.

    Attached are photos of some of the injuries to Jason along with damages to the house, BECAUSE THIS WAS NOT A ROBBERY and reports to the contrary are incorrect. Again nothing was stolen. Later it was discovered their family vehicle was also damaged while the assailants fled the scene.


    We will provide more information as it comes in to us. Suffice it to say that it would be far too much of a stretch if this was a coincidence.

    Never say, you weren't warned
    When they come to drag you away
    To silence the dissident hiding in us all
    They clench the fist of ordained might
    From which side of the barbed wire
    Do you want to see your life pass by?

    ARA actually.

    Also being a anti-fascist is now an excuse for the state to take your children. Looks like the interwebs mobilized and stopped it cold though.

    Don't read the CBC comments unless you like reading Tory scum falling over themselves to fellate each other and claiming that the Devines deserved it, etc.
