    A conversation with Jack

    I was having a chat with someone the other day about historical figures you would loved to have held conversation with; names like Jesus and Kurt Cobain of course popped up and while the chatter eventually ventured down one particular road, I later considered just what would a conversation with Jack the Ripper have been like? I've read the psyche profile the FBI did on him and if one was to go by this, a chat with the Ripper would have been rather one sided due to his apparent inability to relate to another human being, but lets just suppose for a moment that we had the chance to speak to him, with him being aware that we knew he was the Whitechapel Fiend, how would the conversation go? Would he be capable of coherently explaining why he was who he was? Would he attempt to 'rationalise' his actions? How articulate would he be?

    I would ask him how many women he murdered,first and formost. Then all the general questions, for example, did you write the GSG?

      In John Plimmer's book "The Whitechapel Murders- Solved?", he writes a fictional piece of how he imagines a converstation went between Jack and the police. It's written as an interrorgation.
