• holding that a resisting-with- violence conviction does not establish the validity of the underlying arrest
• holding that words alone cannot constitute disorderly conduct less they are “fighting words” or “words like shouts of ‘fire’ in a crowded theatre”
• limiting disorderly conduct statute, when applied purely to speech, to fighting words and false words that create a clear and present danger to others
• limiting the application of § 877.03 so that it would only apply to “fighting words” or “words like shouts of ‘fire’ in a crowded theatre” to avoid First Amendment concerns
• falsely reporting some physical hazard in circumstances where such a report creates a clear and present danger of bodily harm to others, such as yelling \fire\ in a crowded theater
• Section 877.03 also encompasses words like shouting “fire” in a crowded theatre
