im a little behind on posting, so this one will be short. but on tuesday night the criminology class got to go on the jack the ripper tour. im not in the class, but they had a few extra spots some we jumped on bored. i took this picture from meg, i hope she doesnt mind.
we headed down to the tower of london tube stop and met up with our tour guide. he gave us the backdrop for the city, showing us the wall built by the romans that still remains today (in part). this wall separated the city between the rich and the poor. come the late 1800's, and the city is still split. on the poor side of the city is where jack the ripper comes into play. it was a little bit of a gruesome tour, learning about him. he murdered 5 different women, all of them just as cruel. they were all poor prostitutes who lived and worked in the city. we walked around and saw some different sites, places where the women lived, where they were found dead, etc. like i said, pretty gruesome. and the scariest part... THEY NEVER CAUGHT HIM!!! but dont worry, the guide kindly assured us that he is now beyond a doubt dead. but after the fifth murder he just disappeared, he never committed anymore crimes and was never heard from again.
