re: #2 SanFranciscoZionist

Any of them facing seven years in prison?

They got 2 years in Russia and it is for hooliganism not simple trespassing - they entered a religious building.

Which is about what an American teen got for vandalizing a synagogue (9-18 months)

I don’t see in the article what the sentence is in the New York case (and in that case it was trespassing onto a church owned vacant lot I think and not a religious building).

A retired Episcopal bishop and a Harlem priest were among seven people convicted Monday (June 18) on charges of trespassing on property owned by one of the Episcopal Church’s wealthiest parishes at the height of the Occupy protests.
