Wow. So Jack the Ripper was Sweeney Todd.

[Phoenix8]

Of Jewish descent as well.

[cuz1961]

was it a match to this guy ? .

[Opinionated Blowhard]

He looks a little like Ryan Reynolds.

[teeman8r]

blood libel.

[Jonty30]

A 18th century barber would make sense, because they often did part time surgery in addition to cutting hair.

That’s a close shave!.......................

Polak dentist right?

Conveniently an immigrant. 🤔

Friggin’ immigrants have always been murderers and rapists.

I don’t think that you could say this is definitive proof.

All of the Ripper’s victims were prostitutes.

Kosminski could have made use of Catherine Eddowes services leaving his DNA behind on the shawl.

[HartleyMBaldwin]

Jack the Ripper's murder spree claimed the lives of countless women

Hyperbole much, Eliana?

Rarely is racist anti-semitism so blatant.

Thanks for coming out of the closet.

Already solved years ago.

According to the common assumption of the time, all the victims were prostitutes and all but one of them, Kelly, was murdered while soliciting on the street. That belief was subsequently taken for granted in books about the crimes, which typically offered conjectures as to the true identity of Jack the Ripper and reported graphic details of the murders he committed (many of these books, however, were based on fraudulent claims and documents). In a radical departure from that genre, The Five: The Untold Lives of the Women Killed by Jack the Ripper (2019), the British social historian Hallie Rubenhold argued that Nichols, Chapman, and Eddowes were not prostitutes; that Stride had resorted to soliciting only occasionally, during periods of desperate poverty and emotional suffering (but there is no evidence to show that she had been soliciting when she was murdered); and that the only verifiable prostitute among the five was Kelly. In Rubenhold’s view, the notion that Jack the Ripper was a murderer of prostitutes was a consequence of the misogynistic and class-based prejudices characteristic of the Victorian era.

This has been around since 2019. None of the claims were peer-reviewed. There is concern the DNA was contaminated, and descendants of the alleged killer were in the room while the scarf was openly displayed. There is a claim that a family member may have handled the scarf. Furthermore, the barber was not put into an insane asylum until years after the last ripper murder. Why did the murders stop? Another Jewish person from Poland with a similar name was incarcerated shortly after the last murder and died soon after. The barber did not die until the 1900's.

White Chapel had or bordered an extensive Polish Jewish community. Like immigrants in the USA, police simply assigned names and, in the case of one Polish Ripper suspect, the police named him Cohen because they did not know how to spell his name. It turned out his name was Kamanski or something similar.

Since 2019, the claimant has refused to allow any peer review of his evidence and the process of determining if this is the Ripper. The claimant may be correct, but many questions could be answered by independent professional investigators conducting a peer review.
