Why Did the BS Man Try to Pull Liz into the Street?

[Sam Flynn]

It must have been seven thousand years ago that I pointed out the impossibilty of a killer pulling his victim out of a dark yard into the street to mutilate her in the fashion of the Whitechapel Murders.

Ah, but that which can be pulled out can usually be put back in, AP - unless your name happens to be John Wayne Bobbitt.

Exactly what Sam said.

If BS man was Kidney, he'd have pulled her toward the street in a "come with me" kind of way. She demurred and he got disgusted and threw her back toward the sidewalk "to hell with you then".

Schwartz saw most of the altercation from the pull and crossed the street to avoid getting mixed up in it.

I got this from Wiki. According to Schwartz, Liz was standing in the gateway of the yard when she was approached by the BS man. He spoke to her and then tried to pull her into the street, but he turned her round and threw her down on the footway. I had always been under the impression that Schwartz had arrived during the altercation, not before. Which is the correct version?

Then the question is why did he try to pull her into the street and not the yard? This does sound like the BS man knew her for it would appear that this all transpired very quickly.

Also, if Liz was waiting for someone, the gate would be a good place to stand. "I'll be waiting at the gate."

Hi CD

BS man was walking ahead of Schwartz, the altercation seems to have begun just as Schwartz was approaching them by the gates, thats when he crossed over the road.

I was always under the impression that BS man pulled Stride towards him and then spun her around and threw her down just in the gateway, which is why Mrs Mortimer and Latchfords sister never saw anything.

Hi Sam,

Yes, Kidney certainly crossed my mind in that regard.

But which is the correct version -- Schwartz was there from the beginning of the altercation or he arrived in the middle of the movie?

Knew her as in, "Oh, no you don't - you're comin' 'ome with me, NOW!", perhaps?
