I'm still waiting for you to cite the law that makes it illegal to yell
fire in a crowded theater.

FALSELY to yell "fire" in a crowded theater is not protected speech.

Brandenburg v Ohio ruled that speech could only be banned when it was
directed to and likely to incite imminent lawless action (e.g. a
riot), the test which remains until this day.

Of course, since you're not a citizen of the US, and since you
plainly have not studied US law and culture, you probably don't know
this. But to DENY it like you are, in your situation, is the height
of looniness.

Now that you've shown that a law that bans yelling fire in a crowded
theater *may* stand up to a constitutional challenge, please site an
actual law that prohibits it.

Also, please see:

There are various forms of "law" - in this country at least.

Statutory law is what you are asking for - an actual statute passed by
the legislature.

Case Law - which is just as binding - is what you have been cited above.
The absence of a stature does not mean that there is no "law."
