I think those two things are very different in the context of this situation.

but we also have freedom of expression.

and yawning in disdain is still just an expression.

If you express your dream of blowing yourself up on a commercial airliner, you get your ass shot by a US flight marshal. If you express your unappreciative indifference towards a Judge's sentencing in a courtroom, you get your ass thrown in prison for six months.

Freedom of Expression has its boundaries.

That does make sense.

If I explode than how will i get shot by a US flight marshall. I would have already been dead.

You didn't actually blow yourself up. You were shot before you hit the detonator.

Yeah, I meant that if you express your dreams of blowing yourself up VOCALLY, you would get shot.
