Bonnie Devine recently <a href=\"http:\/\/bonniedevine.com\/\">ran for Mayor of Calgary<\/a> in the 2010 municipal election. This is the most recent in a long line of attacks on the Devine&#8217;s. Every time their 4 children were asleep in the home.<\/p>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/2.bp.blogspot.com\/_a2A_lnEkDQA\/TNifDCff4tI\/AAAAAAAAD7A\/C90AulHNSP0\/s320\/149871_455688448302_513833302_5716453_3777424_n.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p>It is believed the attack is related to the recent leafleting and postering, by Anti-Racist Action Calgary, of a neighborhood where neo-nazi&#8217;s are known to live.
