    You in fact can yell fire in a theater without being arrested. It depends on the context (and weather or not there where injuries)

    If the play calls for it and an actor says it. Or more simply if the theater is on fire.

    With speech laws it matters more what the context is to the intended audience than what is specifically said.

      Did I not mention being responsible for injuries? Your absolutely right, but you’re not correct…

      This is actually a dumb response.

      You knew the content and context, and answered a different question to look smart.

      It made you look dumber.
