See, even with our freedom of speech we aren’t allowed to yell “fire” in a crowded theater.

Was joking.
Causing an inappropriately timed orderly exit from a theatre would be frowned upon in most civilised countries.

Zatso?

What are you supposed to do when the theater really is on fire?

(In the case where that phrase originated, the fire was the growing Great War, and the court ruled that warning American was not protected speech!)
