If they were richer or more powerful, they'd definitely be more targeted. What they might or might not have had at the time that you'd expect today (or even in a later medieval setting) is protection. What's the line between "the town set up a ritual designating the leader as responsible for failure" and "a bunch of people from downtown got upset and ganged up on the mayor and the landlord one night"?

Lunatics like that just don't have a concept of politics that can exist disconnected from religion, religion is the only legitimate politic. This is as old as the existence of cities. It's so hard to make a civilization that breaks off from that and to maintain it that way.
