Free Speech Limits

Yes. This is akin to shouting fire in a crowded theatre [1] or phoning in a bomb threat.

Literally from the link I posted, a federal government website:Freedom of speech does not include the right: To incite actions that would harm others (e.g., “[S]hout[ing] ‘fire’ in a crowded theater.”). Schenck v. United States, 249 U.S. 47 (1919). So at least your last sentence is rubbage.

You don't have the right to say anything you want in the US either. Free speech is full of exceptions in US law as well, starting with the most obvious example of "shouting fire in a crowded theater" [1] (though the original decision the phrase refers to had nothing to do with someone shouting "fire"...)

------------- Begin Nitpick ---------------The 'Fire' example is overused. The speech alone can directly cause physical harm. Racist, xenophobic and other distasteful speech does not.
