How would it be easier for Jack The Ripper to kill women if they were alcoholics?

In several respects, the alcohol consumption of his victims aided the Ripper's cause. Alcohol is a depressant, it lowers inhabitions, distorts perception, and depending on the amount, effects coordination and slows reactions. JTR's victims were street-wise and no doubt, cynical. The ability to judge a person's character was for them, stock and trade. After a few drinks, their ability to descern a dangerous individual may not have been as sharp. Impaired motor function and reaction time would make the victims much easier to overcome, especially if they had drank enough alcohol to make them unsteady on their feet. If eyewitness accounts are correct, most, if not all of the victims were in various stages of intoxication. One of the victims, just hours prior to her murder, was arrested for being drunk in public. It is anybody's guess whether their fates would have been any different had they been sober, but without a doubt, their drunken state did make them easier targets for the likes of Jack The Ripper.

Was Jack the Ripper Jose Rizal?
for me rizal is the number one suspect for being JTR Jose Rizal is possibly Jack the Ripper. Rizal's acts are unknown when he left the library or at night. He has a love of women and so as Jack the Ripper. He is a doctor and highly educated and Jack the Ripper uses medicine to kill his victims and cut off their body parts. For me it's 70 percent the Jose is Jack the Ripper. As per discussion it is highly unlikely that Rizal would be JTR. JTR had a hatred for women which is evident in his murders. He had to blend in to the east end and I doubt a person of hispanic decent would blend in at all. It is also evident from the butchered bodies of his victims that JTR had no special medical training and there has never been any evidence that would indicate the killer used medicine to kill his victims. Their throats were slit, almost to the point of decapitation, and then the were gutted like a fish. This is not the work of someone who loves women.
Are Jack The Ripper's victims linked?
Contrary to what you may have seen on TV or in the movies, there is absolutely no evidence that any of Jack The Ripper's victims knew each other or were connected in any way other than the fact that they were prostitutes living (mostly on the streets) in the Whitechapel district of London. It has also been concluded that virtually all were alcoholics. They lived a lifestyle that increased the chances that they would be the victim of a violent crime. This is as true today as it was in Victorian London.

What type of people were around in 1888 England?
People are basically the same no matter what time period they live in. The people that lived in 1888 Whitechapel have much in common with proverty-stricken people today. They lived lives with little hope that things would ever be better for them. The only good thing that came out of the Ripper crimes was recognition of the horrendous living conditions in London's East End.Jack the Ripper preyed on women that were so far down, living on the streets, they were hungry, dirty, and in most cases, isolated from family support, in other words they were 'working without a net'.I'm sure as children, they did not make a concious decision to be homeless prostitutes. Or to be alcoholics. That's what makes the Ripper's crimes so horrible. He took advantage of their vulnerablity, they had no defense against him.

What is a seam ripper used for?
A seam ripper is used to take seams out of materials. Like say for example I wanted to make a quilt out of several different materials, so i would sue a seam ripper to take apart them materials to make the quilt. A seam ripper is used to cut the threads that hold the pieces of fabric together. You use a seam-ripper to remove stitches in a fabric without tearing the fabric, instead of scissors or something else. Generally you use a seam ripper and hook it into the stitch at the seam, in order to be able to go back and re-sew the area without damaging the material. :D
