“Huh? You can shout ‘fire’ all you want - it’s the consequences of those actions that can be punished.”

I guess you are saying there is no actual law against shouting “fire”, are probably right but does that mean I can throw a hand grenade into a mall and get away with it if by some miracle no one is hurt and no property is damaged? Isn’t my throwing the grenade an expression of free speech?

First, I doubt you would get away with causing no property damage.. And you're conflating an inherently dangerous act with simple words.
But yes, if there's no harm caused by your actions, then why shouldn't you be allowed to do it? Throw all the grenades you want out in your nice big backyard, where no one can be hurt.
