You also can't yell "FIRE" in a crowded theater ... but I think this article was talking about being arrested for discussing how ludicrous the whole process is.


Sorry, who was arrested for that?


I'm not sure whether anyone was ... it represents cases where free-speech can be limited (and there are many others). You can't call your boss offensive names and expect to have a job right?

Not the "fire", the "discussing how ludicrous the whole process is."
