Talk:Felix Mitchell

Comment
I really really like how this article ends,

"Mitchell continues to be an inspiration for youngsters across urban America who see criminal activity as a means of economic improvement."

are u on crack or something. how can u say that hes an inspiration to those who basically as u put it glorify criminal activity for their own gain and how can this possibly affect anything in a good way? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 198.96.86.4 (talk) 12:04, 7 August 2008 (UTC)
 * that line has apparently been removed, but a lot of this article reads as a memorial. this is not the place to memorialize or demonize, but to report notable facts about the man and his activities. i only hope that this article has not been edited due to no one coming to read it. if people are reading this and agreeing its appropriate, who could edit it (and editing is easy here, folks, esp. when removing blatant bias or propaganda), thats sad.Mercurywoodrose (talk) 23:55, 21 October 2009 (UTC)

This article doesn't mention WHAT drugs he sold. I've read heroin some places, I've read crack in others. What exactly was it that he sold. —Preceding unsigned comment added by CJCali81 (talk • contribs) 22:18, 21 March 2010 (UTC)
 * excellent question, for as we know, US drug policy prohibits drug lords from selling more than 2 drugs, and within that selection, no more than two forms of the drug. so Mr. Mitchell would have been prohibited from selling, say, crystal methamphetamine, heroin and cocaine, or heroin, opium, and prescription narcotics simultaneously. He would have had to get a waiver from both the county and the federal authorities to expand his business (showing evidence he was not creating a monopoly on drug sales in oakland), or face stiff fines. I dont know which ones he was authorized to sell, but I'm sure that he was careful to avoid even the appearance of impropriety, given his social standing at the time.Mercurywoodrose (talk) 17:00, 7 November 2010 (UTC)
