A new museum exhibition opens the case file on Jack the Ripper—and affords a grim look at the London of the time—a city made for murder.
Comment: I'm sure this will be invaluable to all who are interested. I strongly suggest that that the dumb ass Patricia Cornwall to go see it. She made many ludicrous comments in her so called book She proved she has no understanding of th subject matter at all and attacked it like a furious little girl frightened by the boogie man
Comment: A good who done it, but far to old to solve with any certainty. One story told that it was the Queens own physcian who did the killings. Other than curiosity why bother. Who's going to jail for this crime at this late date.
Comment: Well obviously no one will be going to jail at this point in time. The only thing it might do is freak out some descendants if the case is to be solved and they find out it was their great-great-grandfather who was known for being a little "odd" at times. What is always consistent with acts like these,though, is that human curiousity will drive people to attempt to solve who did it and then lead to more speculation as to why and what drove Jack to it. Personally though, I don't believe that this will case will ever be solved, nor will all the evidence truely be released in this museum. There is far to much speculation of suspects that were part of the higher classes of British society, especially with having connections to the Royal family and I don't believe the Royal family would honestly allow such a possibility for exposure like that to happen.
Comment: I'd be careful about being too critical of the fascination our species has with the macabre. Our twisted interest in the stories of Jack the Ripper, or the Black Dalia is simply a manifestation of the traumatic knowledge that all life ends. Obvioulsy, those who obsess with the grotesque or admire such serial killers probably need to seek psychiatric assistance, but morbid curiousity is a natural byproduct of a mind struggling to come to terms with its own mortality. Whether concious or unconcious, the need to understand death is one of the most compelling pressures we face.
Comment: Mickey Marsh- Are you kidding?? Stamp out evil? Nice fantasy if you can get it .lol
Comment: The human mind will always be facinated by the macab. Stories of The Black Dalia, Jack the Ripper and Ed Gein. As long as there are shocking tales and people to read them, they will never die.
Comment: You think "JACK THE RIPPER" would be buried by now. How can we stamp out evil if we keep creating evil over and over again.
Comment: can't stomp out what comes natural for our species! take a good look what's the difference from hack and thrash, to obliteration by bomb, or mass military, with killing on there mind, and inocents are never a bother, just colateral damage, including children? Earth 2008!
