Oh. So, you can not be punished for speaking, unless what you said had a bad result.

Well let's play with it a bit. What kind of bad result? If you create a mob in which people are trampled and property destroyed, sure. If you shout FIRE in a theatre and nobody gets hurt, is that a crime? What if you intended to incite a riot and you just screwed up and announced the FIRE in a theatre at a firemen's convention and it just made people happy instead?
