Freedom of speech does not protect against treason, violation of national security, extreme obscenity, dangerous speech (such as shouting "fire" in a crowded place), or conspiracy. It also does not protect one who knowingly lies to harm another person (perjury, libel, slander). Freedom of speech does not allow anyone to disrupt lawful processes - for example shouting down a teacher or outbursts in a courtroom.

When you yell "fire!" in a movie theater, "bomb" on a plane, or when you say anything concerning the safety of the of the president and any other form of treason. If you verbally threaten to injure or kill someone, it can put you in jail with the proper evidence. You probably can't say things like "gun!" inside a bank if it's not true. Don't try your luck with cops or you might get tased for hurting their ego. List goes on and on.
