Sorry but that is a rubbish analogy and you know it....Freedom of speech is to express ones beliefs or emotions. Shouting fire is not a statement of expression or emotion it is an alarm. Your analogy falls flat on it's face.
If you limit freedom of speech you do not have freedom of speech......Simple as that. Those that speak and cross the line in the eyes of some should only encounter the possible actions of libel or slander or incitement to harm which is against the law anyway.......But people are still free to do as such but at their peril.....
As harsh and unreasonable as it may seem only the top answer would give freedom of speech. The middle answer is a contradiction. Limit free speech then free speech is none existant....
