<I actually think it might be possible to make an argument that you SHOULD be able to yell "Fire" in a crowded theater...
Legally speaking, of course.
If anyone was actually damaged by your action, a civil suit might be in order here.
I don't think I agree with that. Excessively dangerous actions likely to result in harm to others deserve punishment, whether or not they actually cause harm to others.
If a driver is heavilly intoxicated at the wheel, I want to see him in jail, even if nobody is hurt from his actions. Yelling fire in a crowded theatre doesn't feel terribly different from this.
