Once again, an attack argument based on a lack of knowledge.

There are all kinds of unprotected speech (why do people keep saying
"non-protected"? I've pointed out that its not found in the
dictionary??!!).

Libel
Slander
Speech to incite a riot
Speech to incite panic - yelling "fire" in a crowded theater
Speech to drown out another speaker, violating their right to free speech

Other speech is regulated as well, such as what you can and can't say
on a "free" (as in cost) radio or television show.

Each "community" is capable of setting up their own rules and, in
fact, COULD outlaw "booing" if they wanted.

The "speech" being specifically protected, and this is a point so
often lost on morons, is POLITICAL speech. You see, "in the Bill of
Rights the pen is drawn first, and then the gun, in the protection of
freedom and control of government."
