Christmas Tree 4003 Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 Always found this a very interesting story and it surely has to be the most notorious murders / murderer of all time. I remember growing up one of my elder sisters who loved horror stories, had a Ripper book that contained real crime scene photos that were truly gruesome. There have been many films and documentaries about him and who he might have been. I think the last one I saw claimed he was a member of the Royal family or the Royal physician. Could they have really gotten away with it back then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CleeToonFan 1 Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 The Royal conspiracy is ridiculously flawed, but popular because anything to do with the Royals are. I love stuff like this an personally think it was Levy, but we'll never know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, was a hoax, said the ripper was James Maybrick though, who was a Scouser, so some good came of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TicTacWoe 0 Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 (edited) Watched a documentary on youtube recently which made a decent case (though it now seems to be somewhat discredited) for it being this hilariously mustachioed guy http://en.wikipedia....rancis_Tumblety Edited September 6, 2012 by TicTacWoe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CleeToonFan 1 Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 Haha tumblety was a weird cath word that's for sure, but didn't he have a decent alibi? I like the way any famous person of the time has at one point been blamed (Lewis Carroll being my favourite) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolfy 12 Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 I don't think Jack the Ripper existed in how we are told. Naturally someone has murdered those prostitutes , yet I think it's came from high above to frighten the prostitutes away as they were the scourge of the city. That's my theory anyway.

CleeToonFan 1 Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 Were the bollocks the scourge of the city. The killed were all poor lasses trying to keep a roof above their head (save for a wee bit of alcoholism here and there). Besides the pinching street torso etc shows that even if that was the case, they did a shit job. Levy is the best case but theres a few which could have done it. Remember that unlike today the police had very little technology to help them. Not everything is a conspiracy you know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The lasses that were killed apparently were prostitutes and drunks and were probably infecting many blokes with sexual diseases, so they decided to cull a few hoping it would scare the others into staying away. The name Jack the Ripper was made up to make it appear more scary to the ladies of the night. That's just my theory and I do not know if it's the actual case but I'd go more along with this than just a random bloke managing to get away with precision cutting the victims time and time again.

wolfy 12 Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 Jack the Ripper was an Alien!!! Jack the Ripper was a rapper who had a good rapport with all the criminals until he took the rap for doing a rapid bank raid, where he supposedly wrapped all the notes up and hid them in Rapunzels hair.The report on the rapper, known as the ripper from Rapunzels own mouth stated, Aliens.

wolfy 12 Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 Time for a rap song. I said Jack is back and he's back on track, he's ready for a night stalk with his surgical bag, the women are scared , they hope they won't be snared , by the man called the Ripper who remains undeterred. ( Spins on my hard on with arms and legs outstretched whilst also doing drum things with my lips) Get out of town when the night time nears, just the prossies need be scared and not the little queers...he's a man on a mission and his mission will be done, when he finds another victim, just another drunken bum. (Does a pommel horse thingy on the floor whilst still doing daft drum noises from my lips) If you see this Jack the ripper and you see him do the deed, you will surely know it's him when he cuts the girls in need and makes them bleed, so take heed. ( does a Michael Jackson moonwalk in my plimsoles with added sceech on the floor) Jack is back, Jack is back, so go and put your flask in your haversack...let's hit the streets and hunt him down, like wee willie winkie, in his funky night gown. Wewe catch him, we will lash him, gash him and trash him...we will wooden spoon his little hard on and pummel his small balls and poke him down the Japs eye until the ripper falls. We will sing and then we'll dance and then gather all the crew and tell all the town folk that the rippers got his due. ( Spins on my semi on , then goes slack, finishing my rap spin with just my button nose) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ayatollah Hermione 12895 Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 Hello, I'm Jack The Ripper. You may remember me from such killings as "Dirty Debra found in alley" and "Famous escort killed in car fire" I'm here today to tell you that I WAS NOT a government conspiracy though I was a rogue policeman taking curb crawling in my own hands. PS. I only had sex with 3 of the women I eventually beat with a candlestick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
