Liz Stride Re-Enactment

[mariab]

I fully agree with what you're saying. Still, I fully expect Fish to have an enraged response tomorrow (until he calms back down, that is).

[protohistorian]

Well Maria, Fisherman seems like a stand up guy. There need not be any animosity. We all have ungrounded interpretations and we should be thankful when someone points them out. Our conceptional accuracy depends on this very process, and holding any animosity against it is childish, and I believe below Fisherman's expectations of himself. If I got angry every time someone demonstrated how I was wrong I would end up in a Hitler like fury in about a week. Dave

[mariab]

I agree that sometimes Fish's thought process tends to be a bit sloppy. (For which he'll probably attempt to slit my throat when he wakes up and sees this in the morning, but as I intend to get up from my 'sickbed' tomorrow and take care of errands, I won't be available so much on casebook. Which is probably a sane thing.)

[protohistorian]

Perhaps Maria. More importantly for our purposes we must acknowledge she was clearly self enraged by Fisherman standards. Because according to him, a slit throat is a clear indicator of rage. Dave

[mariab]

Did Victorian asylums/hospitals allow knifes at the meals administered? She might have gotten the knife (perhaps even stolen it) from her son.

for Fisherman

One self raged old lady, it is sooooo obvious. Dave

[DVV]

That is some truly slopping thinking. Are there not other reasons people end up with slit throats besides rage? What specifically about the Stride wound package says rage? I understand that YOUR interpretation is rage, but that is your interpretation and it far from born out in the factual evidence. Dave

Slopping thinking ?

Wait.....I'm damn sure Fish will reply ! and there will be blood on the walls !

Dave:

"Fisherman, I am still waiting for how a slit throat leads us to rage."

Why? Is it not perfectly clear that people who use violence to kill often are enraged people? Do we need black eyes to prove a rage? I think not.
Rage, Dave, does not predispose any certain length of time to perform it, nor does it crave specific amounts of physical violence. Cutting the throat of Elizabeth Stride may well have been the most enraged thing her killer ever did.

The best,
Fisherman

Hello, Mr Cordyroy. I'm still at it (chin wagging) because I'm a bit ill in bed. (Totally neglecting work, and feeling so guilty - but cozy.)
About the IWMC, I'd still not completely rule out the KGB (the Okhrana). The IWMC was apparently founded by Eleanor Marx, who was Karl Marx's daugther, William Morris wrote an inflammatory article about Stride's murder (as a provocatory act to harm the club) in the Commoweal, and Charles Warren wrote a memo on October 12, 1888 ruminating about a “secret society“ wishing to discredit socialists/Jews with the Berner Street and Mitre square slayings.

A high priced call girl with no teeth, that's what I call a fetish.

You're still at it Chatty Cathy? Enjoyed our conversation last nite.

Lynn, professor of the great state of Texas: Elizabeth Stride was one of the unfortunates of Whitechapel. Yes she charred, spoke some Yid with the homeboys, mooched a drink, lived with a dockworker. She was in the millieu.

Dutfields Yard? Prostitutes took clients there. Jack the Ripper killed her, one of the unfortunates there, because it was a "Yard" which in England is an enclosed space between structures. The club had nothing to do with it. The police swarmed all over the club like flies on dookie, locked it down and questioned everyone. No spies, no KGB, no Macarena. That's a dance. (Click)

I knew I could rely on you, David!

The best,
Fisherman

Indeed you can Fish, and I mean it.

All the best

Now if Liz was a high priced call girl then I would see Berner street as a poor choice

To Lynn:
Have a nice seminar. I know a little bit about the early Roman republic, but nothing whatsoever about the Etruscans (besides pots).

[lynn cates]

yup

Hello Maria. Yup. It's another word for socialist.

And now I'm off to engage young minds about the Etruscans and the early Roman republic.

Cheers.

Confiteor indeed. But not funny, just honest.
Does “pinko“ mean socialist?
The Ripperologist part about Bernstein was a joke.
