subject: Disorderly Conduct

It's not just the yelling of "FIRE" in a crowded theatre that can get you in
trouble. I thought I would quote a typical ordinance that deals with matters
such as this, just as a matter of interest. I might add that laws such as
these have been on the books for many years in most jurisdictions.
A person shall be guilty of disorderly conduct if, with the intent to cause
public inconvenience, annoyance, alarm or recklessly creating the risk
thereof he:
1)     Acts in a violent or tumultuous manner toward another whereby any
       person is placed in fear of safety of his life, limb or health;
2)     Acts in a violent or tumultuous manner toward another whereby the
       property of any person is placed in danger of being destroyed or
       damaged;
3)     Endangers the lawful pursuits of another by acts of violence, angry
       threats and abusive conduct;
4)     Jostles or crowds or pushes any person in any public place;
5)     Uses "fighting words" directed toward any person and thus creates a
       turmoil;
6)     Causes, provokes or engages in any fight, brawl or riotous conduct so
       as to endanger the life, limb, health or property of another; or
7)     By acts of violence interferes with another's pursuit of a lawful
       occupation.
I think you will find the above content to be very common in most
jurisdictions. I thought you might find it interesting.
