Yes, you do have the right to yell “fire’’ in a crowed theater. But be prepared for the consequences of your speech. This is the essence of free speech that seems to be getting lost in all the shouting.

Conversely...what are you supposed to yell when the theater is actually on fire?

SPOON?

Uh no...you yell FIRE and get everyone out.
