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.

Stampede as black people listen to the dumbass and storm out of the store :)?
This is not relevant to yelling fire in a crowded theater.
First of all, the ‘fire in a crowded theater’ rule was overturned some time ago. But even if it still existed, the rule existed to prevent a needless panic that could endanger lives in rush to the exits. Such is not the case here. The statement posed no danger to anyone other than the person who said it, provided he was found out.
The county prosecutor has no business jumping on this bandwagon. That is an insult to all the victims of real crime in the state. That headline grabbing political hack needs to be fired and possibly disbarred.
