    Free speech does protect you from the bomb threats. But it doesn’t protect from any other laws that you might have broken in the process. In this case making illegal threats.

    The laws don’t effect the available words in your speech, but the actions of those words. Like in this case making people fear for their life because of a bomb threat. Hell, it doesn’t even have to be words. It could be a letter, but it still holds the same consequences.

        Fair enough.

        I just misread the original as "Free speech’ and not “Protected speech”.
