I don't gather how shouting "Fire!" is more of an *action* than striking a match and holding it to "Old Glory". Both are designed to illicit a response from the surrounding crowd.

Burning the flag is a pretty clear message- "I hate America."

What message does (falsely) claiming that there is a fire put forward?

Would that make it a hate crime ?
Is the Flag to be protected by putting it in the category with the Gay and Lesbians ?
