"You can’t holler “fire” "

First, that was Holmes writing the majority opinion in the Schenk case - a case that has been substantively reversed in the intervening years because it barred protesting the draft during WWI. Be that as it may, yes, the Supreme Court has said clearly that the legislature can establish 1A "time & place" limitations, under some specific guidelines. The one you mention is described as an "imminent lawless action". This case has nothing to do with an imminent lawless action.

"You can’t post doctored pornographic photos of someone online"

Actually, you can - with some considerations. Generally, at worst, you might expose yourself to a CIVIL complain, not a criminal charge. See the difference?

"If your daughter were driven to suicide by these “mean girls”, you’d be mad."

I raised three girls to adulthood. Their mother and I made sure they understood the adage, "sticks and stones etc". We didn't need the police to intervene.

There is a legal remedy for these kids of scenarios. It's a CIVIL legal remedy, not a criminal legal remedy.

The perps.

"It was a joke."

From The Smoking Gun - Girls Busted For Phony Facebook Pages

excerpted..

...

When deputies with the Lee County Sheriff’s Office last month interviewed one of the suspects, Taylor Wynn, 16, she admitted creating two fake Facebook pages “as a joke because she thought it would be funny.” Wynn said she was once friends with the unnamed victim, “but they do not like each other now.”

Wynn told probers that a second girl, McKenzie Barker, 15, created the image showing the victim’s head atop the naked body. Wynn reportedly copped to placing a photo of an adult male’s erect penis “by the victim’s face,” according to a sheriff’s report.

Wynn (left) and Barker are pictured in the above mug shots. They were arrested this week and each charged with a felony count of aggravated stalking of a minor under 16.

A pair of investigators interviewed Wynn last month in her mother’s presence at the family’s Estero home. When Heather Wynn asked her daughter “what made her hate the victim so much that she would do something so mean,” cops reported, the teenager replied, “Because nobody liked her.” The teen “added she thought it would be a funny joke.”
