...And possibly I posted them here before..but it seems to me to worth repeating...
1. We know Whitechapel was the original "'city' that never sleeps." There were always people moving about the area; at no time was it ever "deserted" or totally quiet.
2.During the Ripper period, there was a general undercurrent of panic among the residents of Whitechapel, especially after the "double event."
3. Jews or "foreign looking" people were strongly suspected of being the murderer, to the point there were reported near lynchings of men suspected.
4. But through all of this, the Ripper moved as if invisible.. so..
5. either the Ripper was "invisible" escaping through the sewers as in the Ripper vs. Sherlock Holmes novel, "The WhiteChapel Horror" by Edward Hanna
or...(and here it comes..)
6. The Ripper was someone whom no resident of Whitechapel would look at twice So, to my way of thinking, our friend Jack could not have been a Jew or someone "foreign looking"..Such a person, walking about with blood smears on them, in Whitechapel at the height of the Ripper terror would never have gotten out of the district alive!
So in conclusion, the Ripper must have been the most ordinary looking man you can think of...There must not have been anything "threatening" about his appearance at all...
right?
