You could argue that the gang killings are technically an act of genocide, but usually when genocide is committed the motive usually has something to do with systematic discrimination usually down to racial, ethnic or religious reasons. When Ma-Ma kills or wipes out groups it's simply because they are in her way more than anything, she's not doing as part of a political, social or religous agenda, it's bascially just one group of criminals killing another group, though I guess you could fault me by saying that what Ma-Ma does: brute force to crush opposition and seize power is similar to what many warlords do in Africa, it's just that Ma-Ma doesn't do it in the name of anything but her own wants, not for a cause of anykind, like I said it's basically just gang warfare.

With the Peach Tree's bomb threat yes it could be considered a genocidal act but that was simply Ma-Ma trying to save her skin at all costs rather than wiping them out for the sake of wiping them out, when genocide is committed the intent and end is the successfull destruction of the target group that is the final goal, with Ma-Ma however it is just another means to an end.

It's hard to say, problem is with genocide, what constitutes it has been a long topic of debate that still rages on today, depending on who you ask, intent may or may not matter. Personally if the slaughter is not done as part of a deliberate religious, racial or political agenda, then it is basically just mass murder. < That's my own opinion anyway, like I said it can be tricky to define because people have different opinions on what constitute it.

You're not exactly wrong though, I'm just worried someone who doesn't agree and has a different idea of genocide would read it and think "Eh? I know she's a mass murderer, but isn't genocide such and such a thing? etc..."

If it meets your critera though, I'd put it back up, because like I said it could be said to count depending on wether Ma-Ma meets the criteria, however I wouldn't be suprised if someone with a different view possibly takes it down again, just saying, I can imagine it going back and forth with it going up one day and coming down the next over and over again.
