Fair editorial suggestion, no doubt. Will change to 'yelling "terrorists!" on a busy day at Disneyland'.
H/e, that the example was used to uphold an immoral conviction does not make it an "immoral standard"; it makes the jury immoral people; "...fire!" is basically a metaphor at this point, an easy-to-abstract notion for when the first amendment will not defend you.
