The right to freedom of speech has never extended to the right to shout "fire" in a crowded theatre.
Yes it has. You have every right to shout that, if there is a fire or you believe that there is. If you shout "fire" knowing it to be a lie, you are guilty of a deliberate deception and are responsible for the consequences.
