Answer:

it's obvious...the supreme court nation? u know

Step-by-step explanation:

Even if the endangerment is the crime, the only act causing the endangerment is the shouting. Consider the question "If you pull a trigger and cause a bullet to fly through the air and kill someone then wouldn't the killing be the crime?" Yet still we might speak about whether this or that defense might be helpful to the shooter even though the charge is murder rather than "shooting."
