September 30,1888- The night of Clues?

[scottnapa]

I’m guessing if a man is going to have DEVIL in his name scottnapa he’s going to find himself playing the ADVOCATE from time to time.
I’m just not seeing the wide area that he is disrupting. I mean, it looks like a wide area because the points are pinned on a hyper zoomed map of Whitechapel; much like my nose looks huge whenever i take a selfie holding the camera 3” away from my face. However, zoom that scope out to encompass London as a whole & the context of how isolated of an area he was striking comes into focus.
I’m NOT trying to minimalize that L8ND8N/Whitechapel wasn’t a labyrinth of back alleys upon alleys upon thoroughfares nor that the region was a sardine can of people jammed one on top of another; still… a ‘kilometer or two squared’ measured the same back-then as it does today (and with most Ripper tours advertising a 2-hour walking time, how wide of an area can it truly be?)

Hello. I think you have used that Devil line previously. You are right I am zoomed in. Point taken.
Whitechapel is a small part of London,
if we zoom out, the wider area is the influence of the tabloid press.
London and the world heard about Jack the Ripper. The tabloid press was critical of the police and commissioners
