Besides ... You CAN shout “fire” in a crowded theater.

Precisely. The law is for when there is NOT a danger. It is for injuring people unnessarily in a fabricated panic.

On the other hand, people (the ownership) can be held liable for NOT shouting Fire when there is a fire.

Breyer is failing to distinguish between a real warning versus a false warning. Since he is admitting that Americans will be injured by vengeful mohammedans for burning the page of a book, then he is admitting there are hair trigger people out there. Therefore, there SHOULD be someone shouting, "BOOK!"

Not doing so is what should be a chargeable offense.

And Breyer's words put in perspective all the weak-kneed CINOs from last week who whined at those willing to stand up against the mo-cult murderers so they wouldn't be offended.

That enabled Breyer to read weakness as assent to stripping us of free speech.

It is for injuring people unnessarily

And if that guideline is foisted on the internet, then how long before "hurt feelings" and "diminished self-esteem" are the same kind of "hurt" that prohibits free speech?
