"They massacred the people and burned down the city."
God's people, the tribe of Dan, were looking for land and they did whatever they needed to do in order to get it. In fact, God told them to do it.
Remember when Joshua took down Jericho? Everyone in the whole city needed to be killed, so that God's people wouldn't intermarry and fall into worshiping other gods.
Why so violent?
Samson was to break Philistine oppression, by why not in the ways of Gandhi or Martin Luther King?
Even when the deed is done, the Danites set up the god-figure for themselves that they stole from Micah's house. The grooves in the tablets are still fresh and they are violating the very commands God has given them.
Is all of the death and destruction worth it?
