Although I always thought you couldn't "yell 'Fire!' in a crowded theatre" because you'd then be trampled by the crowd trying to escape.

Whalen Law's Mr. Sandel gives us a little bit about 'the origin of that phrase', but it's not really about 'any actual occurrence in an actual venue; it's just saying that there are limits on freedom of speech.

Yes, Mr. Gosar is FREE to express whatever rage-or-whatever he may have for his disagreeing co-workers; but it was HIS responsibility to keep it private! Release it to the world, and risk another January 6th!

The result of his irresponsibility (a word based on ancient words that mean #Pledge) is reported in a Twitter-event linked through 'that word' below; but first I want to understand that word better.

I haven't actually seen Rep. Gosar's offensive video ... I hear it's one anime-character (with Gosar's head copy/pasted onto it) harming another anime-character (with Rep. AOC's head copy/pasted onto it), and I haven't really 'opened' this Twitter-thread that features the same question I would have,
---it was deemed 'too graphic to show on MSNBC,' so I imagine it's fairly-traumatic for congressmen (still reeling from the January 6 attack) to see.
