As you may have read over the past few days*, 19th Century hairdresser Jack the Ripper was recently outed as notorious murderer Aaron Kosminski. This story has been reported by over a billion news outlets worldwide (source). This raises important issues about Jack the Ripper's privacy. Some people are saying if he didn't want to get caught, he should never have jacked off on that shawl, and some are even going so far as saying he should never have murdered that hooker, but this is a clear cut case of blaming the victim. Doesn't Jack the Ripper have a right to privacy??? Pls answer!!!
Knowing that one of my childhood heroes wasn't a connected Freemason ninja/James Bond with a cool top hat but, in reality, was probably just a fucking mental barber from the East End who never showered and ate bread off the streets because he was insane is like learning that Bonny and Clyde weren't real, or that the Easter Bunny's legend has been greatly whitewashed and exaggerated over time.
What do you think? Is this DNA evidence for real? Let me know.
