Yelling "fire" in a crowed movie theater comes to mind. Not everything said by someone is covered by the First Amendment.

Yelling "fire" in a crowded movie theater would not be considered a "bias crime."

I'm sure that if some low-life grabbed the phone and said "all crackas get out da store now" the only thing that would have happened is there would have been a lot of laughing, hooping and hollering.

Wouldn’t make it right under the First Amendment, which is what I thought we were discussing.

SirJohn, you are 100% correct.
As a caucasian, I would bust out laughing if I heard that broadcasted!
Then again, I also have a sense of humor, something sorely missing in urban America.
