Hi all,
probably going over a lot of old ground here, but after giving a lot of thought about the GSG.
Over the years I have wavered between all opinions, changing my mind back and forth, but now have come to a very strong conclusion that it WAS written by whoever dropped the rag and or killer of at least Eddowes.
I have never understood the argument that it was unlikely written by the killer because of the size of the characters and how low down it was written and could easily have been missed, but surely that argument can be used for suggesting it was written by a disgruntled punter.
The fact is, it was a statement / message meant to be read....whoever wrote it.
I would argue it was possibly written low down to be close to eye level with the bloody rag, assuming of course it was to be found.
The size of the message can be explained by the width of the wall it was written on, otherwise to make it really visible, the author would have to make each line with one or two words only, thus breaking up the rhythm.
I would also think that if the chalk used was just a rough piece of street chalk, this would make it slightly more difficult, the larger it was written, as well as taking longer to complete.
Just as a foot note , I was looking at some street tagging today ( not art graffiti ) and it was noticable that it was all written low on the whole length of the wall , the whole wall above waist height was left untouched.
Regards.
