[John Wick] Why was John so easily ambushed in the beginning?

And why didnt they kill him?
gpt
John had settled into a normal life and thought things were going well, then he was grieving Helen's death. His own safety was the least of his concern.

They didn't kill him because they were dumb thugs who took pride in the fact they could beat and break regular people and get away with it.
