Legal. This is no longer the standard for speech limitations.
So long as it's a "true threat" and not hyperbole.
This is legal, so long as you didn't steal them.
You're technically correct, but you're still an asshole.
Punishment for yelling fire in a crowded theater isn't a first amendment violation. Yelling fire in a crowded theater when there isn't a fire, you know there isn't a fire, and a stampede occurs resulting in a death, is involuntarily manslaughter.
Punishment for death threats isn't a first amendment violation, but it is usually coercion.
And publishing classified data without authorization is illegal, but it's highly nuanced. It can be considered a first amendment right of the press to publish classified documents in some circumstances, but how they obtained those documents is definitely scrutinized. Then there's always the question of "what is press" nowadays when literally everybody carries their own personal printing press in their pocket.
"Everything I said was correct."
