Were samurai good or bad?

The samurai were tools of feudal japan to dominate other territories and keep control of situations they considered inconvinient, such as citizens complaining over taxes. Their codes of honors or bushido, were simply an invention to keep them loyal and capable of doing their cruel acts. Many samurai were abusive of their power and authority as they were considered divine to the eyes of law and could kill anyone they pleased for simply staring at them. Samurai are fairly romanticized in the big screen; however the truth is that the ninja were actually the good guys. Part of the samurai's job was to take down opposing neighbors, handle war situations and rice farmers who would riot over taxes and unfair situations; which later gave birth to the ninjutsu combat style to take down evil feudal lords controlling the corrupted samurai and therefor save thousands of lives at the cost of one solely perversed mind. Conclusion: Samurai were scrap! they could kill, rape and do as they pleased with their authority, especially after forbidding anyone but the samurai wielding weapons.
