The Enduring Mystery of Jack the Ripper | LEMMiNO | REACTION

You can find photographs online of the Mary Jane Kelly crime scene. Though they are insanely graphic. As the documentary says “the work of the Devil.”

[@Andy-qn5xi]

I would highly advise against looking up the photos of Ms. Kelly. They will stick with you forever.

@@Andy-qn5xi compared so some things you can find its not too bad. Something that scared me for life was seeing a video of someone doing what was done to Mary jane kelly in full color HD closeup. A V I D E O.... it scared me for life.

Definitely the work of someone who hated what she did for a living and perhaps someone who hated her personally too. Also quite likely someome who had or stole he key to her room and locked the door. Joseph Barnett fits the bill perfectly. Police obviously heavily suspected him at first too, as he was questioned for four hours.

[@Brainreaver79]

to put the "they went to work instead of looking for the police" line into perspective.. in that time more people were looking for ANY kind of work,.. than jobs were available.. you are late to your job? you are gone,.. someone else does your job now... and with being paid from day to day... if you didnt make money,.. you didnt have a roof over your head,.. or food on the table,.. and would have to look for a new job with empty stomach the next day... and saving money was easier said than done,.. you werent paid enough to "save" money,.. or you wouldnt be living in the east end in the first place.

People often forget that it's a slum, people over there live by scrap day to day, even a five minutes late would mean you're fired immediately, it's not like they can afford to pick their nose clip their nails at home after being jobless for a week, they'd literally die after being jobless for a week. It's a blessing that they've managed to secure a job which many couldn't, so why risk it just for someone else?

[@RRobespierre1794]

Also it was dark, they probably thought she was a drunk homeless woman or something

[@IG7799-c4u]

The fact that the bodies were always found so quickly after their discovery, makes me feel like there had to have been more than one killer.

[@Sidraughen]

There's probably 2 or 3 murderers. Jack the Ripper is one. I'd say he is Aaron Kosminski. Joseph Barnett probably killed Mary Kelly. I don't think the double murder was by one person.

[@comradeglaz42]

The rabbit hole is expansive. Are we looking at a series of completely irrelevant murders not connected at all, just similar circumstances. Or something more calculated. Can’t imagine being the police force trying to figure this out.

[@valencia59487]

​People really gave too less credit to the police in charge at that time, the amount of evidence the killer(s) left behind for them are so less, and many eye witnesses are unreliable or confused and on top of that the media and public are pushing for an immediate answer for who's the killer. Sure there's some mishandling causing lost of evidence that could've been important but with the technology at that time it's truly hard to find any further lead from there. Doesn't surprise me why many police shows show them being forced by the higher ups to randomly pick a suspect as the killer and close case as the most common corrupt way, outsiders who didn't lose anyone to the killer(s) just want answers even if it's not the truth.@@comradeglaz42

[@RubyFennecc]

I know a stupid amount about Jack the Ripper. Through my own research, documentaries, and talking to people involved. I'm even working on a TV-show that follows the lives of the women he killed before they ever met him. The video you're reacting to here is by far the best documentary about him I've ever seen. I'm sorry about the rude comments you were getting. While yes you were silent for periods of time during it, I already saw the comment saying you were trying to find a balance. Plus, even though you're not a historian or anything, whenever you do talk you give different comments from other reactors. Every reactor gives different comments, some more helpful than others, which is why watching reactions is great. Keep up the amazing work! And if you ever want to know more about the Ripper than what was covered, you know where to find me ;D

[@dontshanonau1335]

I mean, in the time since, we've made a proper science out of analysing this. SKs this excessive generally have a personal connection to at least one person involved. Taking the canonical five as the set to analyse would suggest that we're talking about either the first or the last person being the one Jack knew. There are reasons which make both possible. The escalation can be a result of the first time being personal, impulsive and unplanned, triggering an interest in what he had done afterwards. SKs like this geberally do not stop unless caught or otherwise physically unable to continue, so something would have happened to him. The second option is him working up to the last one, which doesn't often coincide with escalation, but sometimes can. This would be supported by what he did to the face, which he didn't do to the others. It's a way of physically manifesting him erasing what he was always going for from the start. This is the case with SKs who lack the initial courage to stand up to an authority figure in their life or a romantic interest that rejected them. This is also supported by him stopping after the fifth time, since SKs of this type usually lose the impetus to go on after they achieved what they wanted.

[@bigfrankfraser1391]

ive even heard a theory that the prostitutes were spies and jack the ripper was an agent of the crown sent to remove them from life

[@jackbluehq6653]

Its weird how Jack is such a common name for myths, especially back In the Victorian era Ever heard of Spring heeled Jack? That was a very notorious erban myth that was present in Victoria London. I think the myth was he would run up to women, scream in their faces and tear at their clothes before running away. I believe he was called Spring Heeled Jack because there was an event where he supposedly jumped over a 7 foot wall to run away. Shame that myth has been kinda forgotten, as there was probably some truth to it.

@@BuxtonsWater That just sounds like absolute torture and I want to know who thought it was a good idea.

[@justtryanother7290]

I feel like the simplicity of it being charles Lechmere/corss makes way more sense than the others. It likely wasn’t some crazy interesting story, just a messed up individual who killed people because they enjoyed it when they had time. He likely had a good understanding of the area, because he lived there all his life. He seemed to have been a well dressed man, which would match all of those witness accounts. He was a middle aged man at the time of the murders, which could fit the profile they set up. We will likely never know who it was, but until we know it seems very likely it was him.

A channel I recommend is Lazy Masquerade. He always has some good true crime/unsolved mysteries type stuff.

[@TheRomanian-Rizzler]

And as someone who studied the ripper for 10 years now, i can express my opinion in ssying that i am inclined to dismiss lechmere, most scientific based research show aaron kosminsky and not just the dna exam. Also i would like you to do one exercise. See the map that has all first 4 crimes, and draw a line from crime 1 to crime 4 and crime 2 to crime 3 anf tell me what you get

[@randommillennialreacts12345]

I'm interested in reading more into this. What are some good evidence based recommendations?

[@TheRomanian-Rizzler]

@@randommillennialreacts12345 the Louhelainen study

[@TheRomanian-Rizzler]

@@randommillennialreacts12345 In 1987, Ripper author Martin Fido searched asylum records for any inmates called Kosminski, and found only one: Aaron Kosminski. At the time of the murders, Aaron apparently lived either on Providence Street or Greenfield Street, both of which addresses are close to the sites of the murders.The addresses given in the asylum records are in Mile End Old Town, just on the edge of Whitechapel.The description of Aaron Kosminski's symptoms in the case notes indicates that he had paranoid schizophrenia. Macnaghten's notes say that "Kosminski" indulged in "solitary vices",and in his memoirs Anderson wrote of his suspect's "unmentionable vices",both of which may match the claim in the case notes that Aaron Kosminski committed "self-abuse".Swanson's notes match the known details of Aaron Kosminski's life in that he reported that the suspect went to the workhouse and then to Colney Hatch,but the last detail about his early death does not match Aaron Kosminski, who lived until 1919 (see below).

I highly rdccomend you play a game called "sherlock holmes vs jack the ripper". Itd s cheap poor game but its incredibly accurate to the reality of the jack the ripper murders and the "clues" in that game are actual real clues that were in reality. Its has poor gameplay, but its story is incredibly accurate to reality

[@randommillennialreacts12345]

Is this a video game???

[@TheRomanian-Rizzler]

@@randommillennialreacts12345 yes. And one incredibly accurate video game when it comes to the events of jack the ripper. Also im sure you will love playing as sherlock holmes and doctor watson . And its quite cheap to buy.

[@TheRomanian-Rizzler]

@@randommillennialreacts12345 also if you put the first 4 murders on the whitechapel map ,then draw a line from crime 1 to crime 4 and another line from crime 2 to crime 3 you will see a very interesting shape formed on the map, the lines intersecting oddly enough in the very place where one of the suspects was living.

[@TheRomanian-Rizzler]

@@randommillennialreacts12345 Also i wuld definetly tune in to watch yu play it :).its a cheapy on steam. and just so you know, the game developers had to switch the identity of Jack the Ripper to another less known suspect, bcause the route in which the clues were heading were actually pointing out to what most researchers agree to be the real life killer. again, in the end its all speculations, but if you decide to research yourself, you might be inclined to have your own suspect in mind. and as i said "Sherlock Holmes versus Jack the ripper" is the best accurate depiction of the jack the ripper events in video game format when it comes to deductions and clues. and it also allows you to "get a good feeling" of the times back then. in reality as well as i nthe game, people were alot more antisemitic , and trust me, aldo this video doesnt say it, Antisemitism plaid a HUGE reason as to why police "may have" let the killer go, if he really was the person whom most reeaperologists point towards (A.K.) . Lets just say that police were VERY afraid of sturring up antisemitic riots in an already unstable neighborhood.

[@jerryduffin1358]

I'm late to the party, but no offense, but you honestly added nothing of value to this video. The original video is 1 hour and 9 minutes, as was your reaction. A really well done reaction to this same video was done by Vlogging Through History, whos final video ended up being over 2 hours long by the time you added in all his commentary. Try looking things up beforehand or during the video so you can add some more depth to the knowledge presented

You add absolutely nothing, why even upload?

[@IG7799-c4u]

Most viewers when watching a video don't say anything at all. It can be hard to express our thoughts when you become a reactor. But as she stated halfway through the video, she was focusing on listening to what was being said. Reactions aren't about saying stuff for the sake of it. If you want an over the top reaction, go watch a twitch streamer.

[@IG7799-c4u]

Also, not everyone has the same expertise to even be able to add something of "value" to the original piece of work. Like what can you say when this is all completely new to you, and you're so focused on the video itself? Have you ever watched a film or tv series where you're so drawn in that you forget about everything else because you're so engaged?

[@randommillennialreacts12345]

My first unecessaily rude comment! Sorry I didn't entertain you, but thankfully, there are so many other reaction channels you could watch and enjoy 😊

[@randommillennialreacts12345]

Thank you. The reason I started this channel was to have raw reactions to videos. I was more quiet in this one because the way Lemino presented this topic was so incredible to me that I was just sucked in. That was simply my reaction. May not be the reaction a viewer wants, but it WAS a reaction. One of the reasons I personally watch reaction channels is to see different reactions to the same videos that I like. Some aren't for me and some are. But I can't imagine telling anyone they don't add anything simply because my reaction isn't their type. But, that's the internet lol.
