Should this scare me?

It seems to me that a Supreme Court Justice of the US (Breyer) is saying that doing things that have been protected as free speech under the First Amendment should not be protected if they make people angry.

If burning a Quran leads radical Islamics to kill people, then burning the Quran should not be allowed. He is likening it to yelling fire in a crowded theatre.

I dare say if that what he is saying is what I think he is saying, then there is no free speech any longer, because it gives the power to the psychotic who kill or threaten violence when offended by a word or an action.

Am I reading too much into this?
