Like PinkoPatrol already pointed out, anything illegal is not covered by the first amendment. Yelling "fire" in a theater is not legal. It's never okay to do that.
You cannot say things to incite an unlawful riot, panic or violence. Yelling "fire" in a crowded theater when there is no fire is how one judge, Oliver Wendell Holmes, paraphrased it to make it simple. You could yell "fire" if there really was one but if you did it without a fire and caused someone harm, you will go to jail for what you said.
Interesting. I'll research this more. If you're talking about the specific example of yelling fire in a theater you may be right but it is still illegal to say things to incite an unlawful riot, panic or violence. I know that is still true.
I fucking LOVE free speech! You will never, ever convince me otherwise. I don't care how many legal but disgusting examples you throw out. 1st Amendment is crucial to all other freedoms.
You are making a lot of assumptions about me that I disagree with but I'll fight to the death for your right to say all of that and more. As long as it's legal.
