You are correct and incorrect.  The First Amendment prohibits the Government from passing laws which constitute "prior restraint".  It does nothing with respect to anyone other then the "Government" and its agents.

You are also incorrect.  Freedom of Speech is Absolute.  There is no prior restraint which precludes you from "(fire, crowded theatre, etc.)" whatever that means.  That does not mean that speech does not have "consequences".  The first amendment only protects against prior restraint, it does not protect against the suffering of consequences.  And of course "consequences" come AFTER the speech, not BEFORE the speech.

Furthermore your "(fire, crowded theater, etc.)" (whatever the hell that means) cannot, as a matter of fact, possibly justify any action taken prior to the so-called speech having been made as that would be an assumption of fact not in evidence (also known as a hypothetical question) and the courts do not rule on hypotheticals.  If you do not understand the difference then perhaps you should be sentenced to death since you have a hand, and having a hand it could hold a gun, and since it could hold a gun, you could also murder someone.  So therefore you should be put to death now as "prior restraint" to prevent you from committing murder.

I am neither a lawyer nor a yankee doodle and I know these facts to be self-evident.
