"FREEDOM OF SPEECH" doesn't mean that you can yell FIRE in a crowded theatre, nor LIE about people.

Actually, it does. Which is why there is no federal law against yelling 'FIRE' in a crowded theatre or lying about other people. Because Amendment I expressly prohibits the federal legislature from doing exactly that.

Not only that, there are times when you should yell fire in a crowded theater.
