So then walk into a crowded theater and shout "fire". Then let's check
your
right to free speech again. :-)

It would be legitimate speech if there really were a fire. Yelling "Fire!"
in a crowded theater, however, has no value in communication other than to
cause a stampede and probable violence and personal injury. Unless, of
course, there's a fire.

Let's take the example of students mooning a deputy sheriff in NC. They
were arrested, charged, and convicted. The judge who sentenced them said
in opposition to their argument of free speech that there were exceptions
and this was one. But on appeal the higher court overruled the trial court
and stated that the students could not be tried under any criminal theory,
including indecent exposure.
