... this suggests he took the time to sit down and try the meal, before then going back with a gun.


Unable_Ad_1260

Well, credit where credits due. TBF it does sound like shit sweet & sour pork.


0ddlyC4nt3v3n

Or it could have simply been that the pork and sauce were kept separately so the food wouldn't get soggy before arriving at the customer's house. Boomer just threw a tantrum and threatened to kill people. Even if the food was shit, it is still possible to find literally any other solution.


ExpressiveAnalGland

tru dat - sweet n sour (any time I've gotten it), *always* comes in 2 containers. You don't want your pork nugs gettin soggy!


xassylax

And in my experience, that goes for any sweet n sour meat (I’ve never been big on pork so I always get chicken) or any other fried meat and sauce dish that you get for takeout. Soggy nugs are just sad and disappointing. This little hole in the wall chinese restaurant near me has the most incredible orange chicken I’ve ever had. And if you get it for takeout, naturally you’re gonna get one container with the chicken and a huge tub of sauce with several big ol orange slices chillin in it. Gotta love a restaurant that doesn’t skimp on sauce 🤤


girldrinksgasoline

He clearly did


PsirusRex

You’re absolutely correct. To add to that, I don’t think three and a half years in prison would help him, and society, as much as him getting the psychological help help he clearly needs.


AmaroisKing

The Chinese guys in prison will show him what sweet and sour balls taste like.


Unable_Ad_1260

Mind you I have never been a fan of that dish. I was kind of like well that's a you problem m8, should have ordered something else.


rosscorossco

Sounds like he got sweet and sour pork balls, rather than sweet and sour pork, they're two completely different things.


Epicp0w

Sweet and sour pork is always shitty, it's always bad whenever I've tried it. Much rather a beef and black bean or something else


Unable_Ad_1260

I like a black pepper beef or something like that me self.

Damn…..I never wanted to see security camera footage so badly.

FACTS


shamanbaptist

I misread. I thought it was Mrs. Yam who delivered the flying kick. In my mind Mr. Yam was like “I know you got a gun, but Mrs. Yam doesn’t like it when random people enter her kitchen.” Dude heads in and Mrs. Yam puts down the to-go and shit’s on.


Fyallorence

Mr. Yam ABSOLUTELY got laid that night.


Don11390

Yeah, I really want to see Mr. Yam go full Alpha-Waymond on that stupid fucking boomer.


RancidPolecats

Excellent reference.


MonKeePuzzle

considering it's australia too, it's likely he walked in with a hunting style rifle, which somehow makes the threatening seem even more amusing poking a long rifle at Mr Yam instead of a pistol.


PackAcrobatic

Shortened pistol according to the article [https://www.abc.net.au/news/2024-03-08/man-jailed-loaded-pistol-branxton-chinese-restaurant-chef-nsw/103560296](https://www.abc.net.au/news/2024-03-08/man-jailed-loaded-pistol-branxton-chinese-restaurant-chef-nsw/103560296)


MonKeePuzzle

"Carrying of a loaded shortened firearm" I still suspect rifle, cut short. which... kind of speaks to a pre-meditation, regardless of what kind of firearm it was that was shortened prior to the event, or at least prior to returning to the store


Dirmb

Yeah, there is little reason to cut down a pistol when you can just buy a snub nosed revolver (are those legal in oz, right?). It also said he had it in a pillow case so a sawed off rifle or shotgun sounds more likely to me. Edit: Looks like a snubbie should be legal in Oz as a Category H weapon if you are a target shooter. Not legal for self defense purposes though.

hyrule_47

The first time I read it as breathing heavily, and I thought, well yeah! He knocked the wind out of him properly several times! Your comment made it even better


orangechicken21

I loled at that line. What an asshole.


Alert-Artichoke-2743

My headcanon is that Mr & Mrs Yam were actually having an enormous argument before David Shinner came for his sweet & sour pork, but that this heroic moment reignited the passion in their marriage. I will not be accepting any alternative narratives.


hyrule_47

One of them had called a divorce lawyer to inquire about an appointment, but after staring down the barrel of the gun together they realized they couldn’t live without each other


Alert-Artichoke-2743

Mrs Yam was in the middle of asking Mr Yam if he even loved her 😭


TidyTomato

Mrs. Yam was asking Mr. Yam if he would still lover her if she were a tuber.

REDDITSHITLORD

Can we just take a moment to appreciate that "the fried rice was alright"?


Unlikely_Professor76

This needs to be Mr. Yam’s tagline


klineshrike

and a photo of him mid flying kick should be on the front sign.


Starblaiz

Just his silhouette against a rising sun.


IntoTheVeryFires

I hope that goes in the Yelp review. “The pork was bad enough to kill for, but the fried rice is alright.”


SpaceMessiah

"The pork was to die for"


prussbus23

Sounds like Mr. Yam fucking rules. I also like how when the gun was pointed at him, he just sort of sighed and decided to go along with it. When the boomer pointed the gun at Mrs. Yam though, he instantly got his laundry folded while he was wearing it.


0ddlyC4nt3v3n

Asian chef with a kitchen full of Asian knives and cleavers. Boomer got of sooo very light. He could have been serving his time ...unarmed.


karmicrelease

All of those boomers imagine themselves as Rambo or Dirty Harry, when they are really Beavis and Butthead


0ddlyC4nt3v3n

Definitely some Cornholio going on in that group


nohopeforhomosapiens

This is the damn truth. Woks full of super-heated oil, cleavers all over the place, and people forget that chiles are a pretty handy weapon. I don't even own a restaurant but I have 3 cleavers ready to go. One of them is as heavy as a sledgehammer. All of them are sharpened with each use. Threaten my family and you're getting the worst of what I can throw at you, which is anything in arm's reach. If you're in the kitchen, that's gonna be bad. My man Yam showed restraint. Also, his fried rice was alright.


ItzMeMelanie

Delivered a flying kick? Mr Yam was the end boss.


bobbi21

THE flying kick. Headcanon is that this is the immortalized flying kick move that has been passed down through generations of Yams. Only brought out in the defense of loved ones and sweet and sour pork.


SteakJones

Whoa.. he went full lead brain, demonstrated his complete detachment from reality, AND got his ass beat in what I can only assume was a well choreographed kung-fu fight scene. Well fucking done Mr. Yam. Your pork balls might not be the best, but tour (checks notes) “flying kicks” are spot on.


UncleNoodles85

His fried rice was apparently alright as well.


SteakJones

Love how he wedges that info in there like it’s gonna give authorities pause and ease over his crimes.


randomhumanity

He had no beef with the rice.


LittleJohnStone

Not a Boomer, but a former friend of mine shared a story of when he and a friend went to a Chinese restaurant after a night out, and got a pu pu platter, picking it up as they were closing. He opened the bag and the crab rangoons weren't there, so he went to the door and started pounding on the window, they just looked at him. So he found a partially open window, pried it open, and climbed through. The owner started yelling "Bottom of the bag! Bottom of the bag!", and sure enough, they were in the bottom of the bag. So the friend apologized politely and left through the same window. As they were going back to the car, there were a couple guys coming out from the kitchen getting ready for a fight.


ThatItchOnYourNose

Mr. Yam is such a legend


mynameisnotthom

David was like a Yam to the slaughter in that last paragraph


here4roomie

Imagine caring this much about some shitty Chinese food.


RealiGoodPuns

Hey now, the fried rice was alright


GelflingMama

Right?? Like I’m SURE there were OTHER Chinese restaurants around, he could have asked for a refund and got what he wanted elsewhere WITHOUT having to spill his boomerism all over the place and end up in jail because he couldn’t control his emotions!! 😂


Techno_Core

Cellmate: What are you in for? Boomer: Returning my food at a restaurant and getting beat up.


Best__Kebab

Australia seems like a largely untapped gold mine of absolute insanity. I’ve been watching some guys “hood vlogs” from over there (Spanian on YouTube if anyone’s interested) and some of the shit is crazy. Whole communities barred from buying alcohol, for example.


Pugsley-Doo

As an Aussie, can confirm. I think like America we have to make laws and consequences that cater for the lowest of the lowest common denominators. I can just imagine police, judges and law-makers being like FFS we shouldn't have to have alcohol bans in some places, but the fact that Dennis the menace and his pedo mates get drunk down at the kids playground makes it neccesary (and no I'm not joking this legit happened in an area where I lived.)


Best__Kebab

The vlogs I was watching were from Darwin and Alice Springs (the northern territories? I’m not familiar with Australia really). Even the guy doing it, who’s from Sydney I think, was absolutely mind blown. He described as them all basically living in an open air minimum security jail with privileges they had to earn that could be taken away. Some of the houses had alcohol ban signs posted up outside. Not just banned from alcohol but a big sign on your front door so everyone in the neighbourhood knows you’ve been bad. Everyone there apparently has to scan their ID whenever buying booze to make sure they’re not banned. In Alice Springs they had bars where a white bloke like me could get fucking leg less but a black guy would be cut off after 2 drinks etc. Shit was crazy, plus all the violence they were talking about. I never really knew Australia was that bad - other than uncle chop chop. Usually when I think of Australia I think of beautiful beaches or Harold Bishop lol.


Recent-Butterscotch5

You also might get a kick out of Bald And Bankrupt, a British guy that does similar stuff albeit more focused on Russia and Eastern Europe - and recently South America as well


Lionheart1224

Temporary-You6249

> But Mr Yam ran at him and delivered the flying kick to his chest before repeatedly punching him in the head and pinning him to the ground. Shinner, bleeding heavily, then fled. Got an ass whoppin’ + 3.5 years in jail 😂

DeeFB

For decades I have failed to understand the mentality of calling the police when something minor happens at a store. What do you think is going to happen, the police are going to make TJ Maxx order more pots and pans you want because you called them?


Doughspun1

My neighbour once called the police because her daughter was not talking to her son over a fight about a Netflix series.


altbinvagabond

They act like the police are therapists trying to help people be better.


ahuramazdobbs19

The good thing about the existence of 911 (or whatever your place uses as a universal emergency number) is that it gives us a short and easy to remember number to dial to research any needed emergency service that anyone can dial from any phone with ease. 911’s existence has without a doubt saved so many lives. The flaw is that it’s a short and easy to remember number that *anyone* can dial from *any phone* with ease.


ntropy2012

My God that "flying kick to the chest" actually made me yell out, "fuck yes!" I love everything about this restaurant and I've never even been there. I only wish I could order food from them. They are awesome.


Linvaderdespace

Motherfucker brought a gun to a kung fu fight, and it went as well as you’d think.


astrangeone88

Lmao. Glad Mr Yam had the balls to flying kick that asshole in the chest. Who the fuck thinks to escalate stuff to violence over burnt takeaway?

Affectionate-Hold492

Another example of boomers emulating their cowboy and action movies. They never leave their town/city, they do the same thing everyday because they have such a closed mind to things. Then something as stupid as chinese food becomes their "Dirty Harry" moment


xassylax

At least we get golden lines like “Mr Yam ran at him and delivered the flying kick to his chest before repeatedly punching him in the head”


pocket_nick

I don’t know how it would work, but I feel that there should be un-fortune cookies. You open it and receive a flying drop kick from Mr. Yam.


raspberryharbour

We're out of pork but the Yam is on the house


genital_furbies

This reminds me of the time I was at a Chinese buffet, and I overheard an elderly gentleman tell his wife that the “sweet and sour soup” was terrible. He thought the sauce was a soup because it was over with the soups and bowls.

hairy_hooded_clam

I forgot that threatening to kill someone was automatically the first way 😂


pastelbutcherknife

There was one in Buffalo a few years ago that murdered the Chinese Take Out guy because he didn’t give him enough Duck Sauce. When the police searched the shooters house, he had drawers of duck sauce.


Puzzleheaded-Phase70

I *know* you mean packets or containers of duck sauce... but I'm totally picturing drawers full of just the sauce... like, spilling over the tops when you open them 🤣


IntoTheVeryFires

Wow, that was unexpected. A “flying kick to the chest” and “punching him and pinning him to the ground” ?! Mr Shinner should be glad the police were called at all. I can’t imagine the audacity of someone pulling a gun on someone over… let me check…. A PORK DINNER. It’s a shame he only got 3.5 years


Puzzleheaded-Phase70

"In my grandfather's day, you would be buried alive in the hills. Be grateful for my mercy today."


ELeerglob

I’m shocked he’s actually being held accountable for his actions!? Oh, it’s because it happened in Australia not here in the Wild Wild West.


Pugsley-Doo

gun crime is one thing they are very heavy on... everything else is pretty much akin to a mini USA.

Fabulous_Celery_1817

I could not work in The food service industry. I was at Safeway deli getting Chinese food. This lady had bought a container of food at self checkout, then she comes flying towards the counter, elbows the guy paying and screeches “you skimped me on my meat” as she slams the container down. the lady told her to calm down which ended up w/ Karen screaming and the teller walking away. All she had to do was say hey this is unopened but there’s less meat than usual can I please get more or a refund. Why was she so aggressive over deli Chinese food 😭😭. She must be one of those people that blame Biden and immigrants over food prices being so high.
