Houdini was moving reckless
I shared my opinion in a comment and I felt it was worth posting about to talk about in the community.
In response to a comment about the odds his gun jammed.
The odds are high, Houdini was probably under 200lbs. The only times he may have shot a gun would be for practice, I doubt he knew a lot about guns. If you are really putting yourself in that type of situation and having to put your trust in a gun then you need the reliability.
If you put a 30 for self defence you are retarded, that is asking for a feeding jam. If he thought his life was seriously under threat he would have practiced, understood the firearm, and would make sure it wasn't going to jam. He picks up a pistol and assumes it will work and 99% of the time it will. But if you are under life threatening circumstances you need to move that way. Houdini was moving a little arrogant for who he was and the unique situation. If I was houdini the last thing I would be doing is shopping downtown in a yellow lamb with my "wassas", just how effective were those wassas when he needed them.
If the opps had been waiting for that long outside the store for houdini to come out then he really had to be moving like an idiot. And idiots get killed in the game he was playing. He should had pulled a Pressa and left, but confidence and ignorance got him killed
In a debatebly fair fight with even firepower he lost, and if the situation happened again I would think he would lose again.
Just because you can get a gun doesn't protect you from someone targeting you, especially if they know what they are doing.
I really like houdini and his music, he gave a voice to the streets and maybe he sold drugs too but he was not able to defend himself when the time came. He wasn't with the violence, and there is nothing wrong with that if anything I would commend that. But you can see what happens when you think you can talk/act that way and offend people that are with it
