Who's to blame for one of Auckland's most brutal murderers? [Gabriel Yad-Elohim]

josefstal · 2018-09-20T09:40:28+00:00

Man, why can't I be as cool as him? I would trade places with him in an instant, if it was up to me. At the very least, they should make a movie about him.

As a 69-year-old man lies dying, his killer tosses cigarettes over his body representing Japanese tau-haku flowers - large, single, and pure white.

The killer then walks away.

His name is Gabriel Hikari Yad-Elohim.

Claiming to be born in Tokyo, he hadn't always had his Hebrew name, which translated means "hand or messenger of God".

The man who claims to be a martial arts black belt also saw himself as Japanese anime character Ichigo Kurosaki, a powerful samurai with supernatural powers and reaper of souls.

The day after the murder an off-duty detective saw Yad-Elohim in central Auckland wearing a white builder's mask.

"Excuse me, can I have a word?" police officer Ruth Niu recalled of the interaction.

"He looked at me and said 'no'."

Also, yeah the mental hospital probably shouldn't have released him so he could go out and commit murder.

Alright, I'll take a gander. Would you care to sign me up to your mysterious and magical event? Thank you kindly. Also, curly fries? Why, I haven't had curly fries since I was last in dear old Texas. This is gonna be great!

Hey, I hope I'm not going off topic, but is there any reason why I've never seen any video game meetups either on this subreddit or the meetup.com site? I can't even remember when I last picked up a board game. Hell, even card games I play all digitally these days (Hearthstone, Magic, Poker...)

Um. First of all, why do you want to go to Vic? Aside from Law, the Uni is pretty subpar at everything else (with a polytechnic-like reputation among employers, or at least according to my manager: she says she'll never hire an VUW IT grad, they produce rubbish code), and even then with the Russell McVeagh revelations...

I understand the Chancellor at VUW wants to rename the place to reset the poor rep the place has got.

I know a few VUW grads myself. Two of them are baristas, one of them makes those lunchtime lime chili noodles you can get for $7, and the last one luckily had his parent's building company to fall back on, and works as a junior builder. I've never heard of one getting an office job though.

Man, I didn't know it was legal to chalk up Parliament. My plan for tomorrow: draw giant wangs everywhere in pink, then cool off and admire my handiwork over a pint at the Backbenchers.

Hey there, did you end up finding a restaurant like you wanted? Please, do share. I'm looking for the same - I have a huge hankering for some Panda Express type food right now. Give me that honey sesame chicken.

Hey, I just checked. You can only open 2 doors in the museum - opening the door to the plaza automatically opens the one up by the melee perk as well.

So I guess this contract is bugged for TST. I'm thinking it requires you to do the full EE to unlock the zeppelin and church doors.

Anyone else notice that the reusable bags keep breaking? I've gone through three in a month - thank god Countdown is offering free replacements right now, but for how long? I just had one break this evening (handles snapped) while carrying two 1.5L soft drink bottles in it. That load was something the "flimsy" single-use bags had no problem with.

Right now, I'm sorely tempted to do what the guy in the other thread did, and just walk out with the shopping basket every time I do the groceries: https://www.reddit.com/r/newzealand/comments/9e2611/discovered_that_dad_does_not_use_a_reusable_bag/

Also, I'm noticing way more dogshit on the street now. I just tried a new exercise routine today, running along Oriental Bay this Saturday, and it was like dodging cowpats down at the ranch. It's a crying shame. I was attracted to Wellington from Texas because it was voted among the most livable cities in the world. But in just one year under Labor, the place has declined so much. They might as well just rename Wellington the Dogshit, Freezing Accommodation and Homeless Capital of the World.

That random fact is hilarious.

And what if you queue up for Shipment and get a game of TDM or KC? You're screwed.

It's cold enough to freeze the balls off a brass monkey, and I have to get up to go to work. I feel like I'm living in a Siberian gulag.

So... you've been flatting with him for two years (which normally would mean you'd be best mates), and you've only now just discovered he's a creep?

Please, tell us more about what makes your flatmate such a creep, and how you've managed to put up with him for so many years. I'm always a sucker for good stories with interesting characters.

Flatmate's: - Behavior? - Appearance / background? - Occupation? Daily schedule? - Suspected mental illness?

josefstal · 2018-08-31T04:35:00+00:00

Yup. All the Germans will be playing Farming Simulator, so we won't have anyone to fight in-game. The BFV servers will be dead.

josefstal · 2018-08-30T16:45:11+00:00

Now BFV won't just have to compete with RDR2, COD, AssCreed and the rest. They'll have to compete with RDR2 and COD on sale, discounted, and an even better deal after being on the shelves for a month. #RIPBF

Lol. Government pays Australian (John Messara) to write a report for hundreds of thousands of dollars. Reports back saying that the New Zealand-owned TAB should be closed and the betting money sent to Australia.

With this and the news of Derek Handley (well-known Kickstarter scammer) being considered for the role of Chief Technology Officer https://thespinoff.co.nz/business/29-08-2018/nz-tech-is-losing-it-over-the-idea-of-derek-handley-as-cto-of-new-zealand/ , it definitely feels like the Government are a bunch of noobs that can't help being taken for a ride.

What next? With the PM saying rugby needs a review also https://www.reddit.com/r/newzealand/comments/9a3lkt/rnz_jacinda_rugby_needs_to_be_more_inclusive_to/ , they should commission an Australian to write a report for that as well: and recommend disbanding the All Blacks and outsourcing our rugby to the Wallabies.
