A governor is absolutely more "important" than your average Joe. Pretending that laws are enforced evenly is naive at best and a openly bad faith argument at worst.
All animals are equal but some animals are more equal than others.
- generj 4y agoThis goes beyond the governor being part of the elite and thus more likely to be protected by the law than an average citizen (unfortunately the case in the US). Attacking high public officials functionally is equivalent to attacking the state itself. Of course a government is going to punish people who attack it more harshly than those who do not. To do otherwise is to give a green light to anarchy and future attacks on the government.
