What Is Jack the Ripper?

There's no such person as Jack the Ripper. He never existed. What we're left with is legend, the story. We don't have to settle for the story if we can instead allow ourselves to come to grips with truths that are much more uncomfortable. All we can always do is try to clear away cobwebs and at least be honest with ourselves. There will always be some people and entire portions of the past that, sadly, get left in the dark.
