Insane, maniac, serial-killer, coo-coo banana pants are all names that could be used to describe, Jack the Ripper, well maybe not the last one. Now, Jack the Ripper was a mad man who killed multiple women in the Whitechapel district of London. In the autumn of 1888, which would soon be known as, “The Autumn of Terror”. Nowadays, we don’t really worry about it because, “Oh, he’s just a british guy gone crazy. Won’t happen again.” But it’s more than likely that it could.
