Jack the Ripper

Jack the Ripper

The ripper of the 1888, who most likely was not named Jack was one messed up guy. Walking along this guy’s old stalking ground really caused a sense or dark mystery. Why would someone want to mutilate so many women that were just toothless prostitutes? The fact of it was, it did not matter how creepy or twisted Jack the Ripper was, the police should have caught him. From the way the story was very interestingly told, it seemed that the main reason why this man remained free was because of a police tiff. The city of London police refused to cooperate with Scotland Yard, and because of this, much of the evidence was destroyed. This idiocy can still be seen in today’s governing forces even in the US. A perfect example of this is how the FBI, CIA, and DEA hardly share information. More times than probably shown through the media, this has caused slower resolutions, and even suspects to remain free. Our government needs to look at situations in history, such as Jack the Ripper, and understand that much more can be accomplished with a joint attempt. It is possible that had all the evidence been properly documented, and the City of London Police and Scotland Yard had cooperated, Jack the Ripper could have been stopped. It is only speculation but the Story of the horrible murders in 1888 teaches that it is better to work as one together, than to be rivals and separate.
