Lewis Wilson crafted a series of homemade bombs and planted them in the ATF Field Office, 10th Precinct Police Station and federal courthouse. In the explosion, multiple civilians were killed and injured, prompting the police and FBI to begin a hunt for the bomber. Wilson wrote a manifesto and sent it to New York Bulletin journalist Karen Page. Lewis wanted Page to print the manifesto as a call to arms. Page instead wanted to print the letter and a reply, and Mitchell Ellison agreed to print an editorial if the FBI allowed it.
Page printed her reply to Wilson, calling him a coward and terrorist at The Ricky Langtry Show. During the talk show, Wilson called in and threatened her. Frank Castle recognized a phrase that Lewis said, "sic semper tyrannis", and remembered that he had heard it before. Curtis Hoyle recognized the phrase too and arrived at O'Connor's home, where Wilson was hiding.[1]
