Regina-based writer and cartoonist Rolli believes there is a "fine line" between freedom of speech and hate speech.

"I've had to think pretty hard this week to formulate exactly where I stand on the matter," said Rolli, whose non-pen name is Charles Anderson. "It is a very important concept and the idea that people should be free to read what they want, to say what they want, to write what they want.
