It's never been stated how many people Black Siren killed. I mean Felicity just dropped a nuke on an entire town and was perfectly fine the next episode. Redemption is not out of the question. Malcolm and Oliver constantly become allies, even when Malcolm killed his own father, his best friend, played a part in killing Laurel and brainwashed his sister into killing his ex-girlfriend. And it's hard to condense a 23 episode story into a few paragraphs. Plus people break into star labs every other week, so it's not too far of stretch to have people break into the pipeline. Many Bennett won't come back to Arrow because he's angry at the writes, especially because of the way they handled his character in Season 3. You may not have to like other people's ideas, but you shouldn't call them bad and dumb.
