not trot out the old censor spectre
You can’t shout “fire!” in a crowded theater, unless there is a fire and danger to the patrons. That’s illegal.
You can't announce a bomb threat, then later explain there is no bomb, just kidding, and expect the police to agree with your free speech defense.
Declaring “no hurricane! hurricanes are impossible!” when there’s a demonstrative potential for a hurricane?
It’s a fine line.
