One quibble: it is not illegal to shout fire in a crowded theater. That was just a weak argument put forth by Oliver Wendell Holmes to uphold the Wilson DOJ's jailing of anti-war folks (particularly Eugene Debs). A theater owner can kick you out but you don't go to jail. You only do if you point a crowd at a person and say "get him" or "kill him". All other public speech is protected.
I'm not a lawyer, but there are laws concerning 'inciting panic.' It's not directly illegal to shout 'fire', but if it incites panic and people are hurt the person is likely to be arrested for it.

How about...willful ignorance and the willfully ignorant? Covers a lot of ground, but there it is...
