Does the Goulston Street Graffito eliminate Jewish Immigrants as suspects?

[Patrick Differ]

Why not just a combination of street smarts and luck?

c.d.

Thats the easy version of events. Very lucky indeed. General street smarts or his turf street smarts? Why that area? London had Prostitutes throughout the city.

I think you answer your own question Newbie. If the killer lived, say on the London side of Middlesex, could that explain a few things?
1. With all of the murders taking place in Metro would someone living in London be interviewed by Metro Police?
2. Did Metro and London outside of Sagar being a liason cooperate with investigation? The events of September 30 illustrate London police as far as Goulston with no knowledge of Metro police. No cooperation until the Apron and GSG were discovered. And it was Metro calling the shots in Metro eventhough Eddowes was murrdered in London City.

In my view if the killer lived in London City and murdered in Metro, then it is possible and even likely that he understood the Police dynamic. Living there his entire 30 plus years would also give him the knowledge to easily escape apprehension as he would know tactical avoidance at a high level. His turf.

In terms of Eddowes, Middlesex Street is between Mitre and Goulston so it makes sense that if the killer, having killed in Metro up until that point, would have to minimize his risk. Did he do that by going to his home on Middlesex or near Middlesex and then wait. And then after a period of not getting the knock on the door , simply walk over to Goulston just 2 blocks away, deposit the apron and possibly the message to give the indication he lived in Metro?

In the case of the killer being stopped between Middlesex and Goulston, there is no indication anyone was stopped other than 2 men right after Eddowes death and not near Goulston.

Of course the killer could have been heading North but it seems improbable after killing Stride and ending up near Butchers Row where Eddowes was earlier.

Eddowes turned tricks in the area she was found intoxicated and instead of returning to Flower & Dean she ended up around Mitre Square. Interesting that after the murder of Mary Kelly , again in Metro, the attention by Detective Sagar returns to Butchers Row and the only murder area in London City the Ripper appears.

Middlesex Street , London side, would be the perfect location for JtR. It fits Eddowes and one has to ask why the killer went West and not North? It was close to Tabrum, Chapman, Eddowes and Kelly.

Its possible that he knocked on the door, and got no answer; but if he was expecting someone to open, why not discard the bloody, feces laden apron beforehand?

I guess if he cut himself, and needed to staunch the bleeding, he'd go somewhere else and wait, then discard the item ... but where did he go?
Hanging out in a stairwell somewhere? Hiding out in some shrubbery by the park next to mitre square?
If he depends on someone else letting him in, his options are not good.

And where did he store the organs under this scenario? In the stairwell?

To me, that scenario is unsatisfactory.
