No streetlamps I would imagine. I would assume that by doing the deed in the dark and then putting on Laban's armor to cover up the garments underneath Nephi could get away with it. Sword and armor can be cleaned off. Nephi was a pretty strong guy with what one could suppose to be some advanced hunting skills/techniques.
I guess if the originator of this thread really was serious about linking to a clip showing Laban's beheading, it would be very grainy/distorted or very possibly not even observable, being that it was all done in the dark.

I think we should see videos of our soldiers maimed and drug through the streets of Bagdhad. Maybe it would at least help us as civilians understand that we are not colleagues or peers with our service men and women because we are not subject to that environment. Therefore we have no right to judge how they handle themselves in war.
And when the confederates saw Jackson standing fearless as a stone wall the army of Northern Virginia took courage and drove the federal army off their land.
no - but I'm sure someone has looked for it now. It's always interesting to read stuff like that but when you see it for real it's a lot different. Nephi needs to cut the head off of Laban to save a nation from unbelief - Did that occur?
edit in: in the United States we do have witnesses to executions so it's not that bad unless someone is strapped into old smoky in Florida and it's only working at half power. I still have times when it's hard to keep meals down after seeing that two girls 1 cup thingy.

Does that shed some light?
If it were THAT dark, then Nephi would have had no need to disguise himself in Laban's clothes.
If the clothes could be discerned clearly enough for it to convince others it was really Laban, then there was enough light to see all the blood.
Aside from the illogic, it's just one more disgusting story some human being made up and attributed to God. Or, I guess it's possible that god is disgusting himself. He reminds me of a mafia don - you have to prove your loyalty by committing some horrific act of violence.
We hate to seem like we don’t trust every nut with a story, but there’s evidence we can point to, and dance while shouting taunting phrases.

He still had to accomplish his mission. I would assume there was more light between him and the treasury than there was outside in complete darkness. Wouldn't you think that Nephi would have surmised there was some kind of security apparatus between him and the plates?

That's my whole POINT, MG. If the security apparatus between him and the plates was such that dressing up in Laban's clothes was an adequate disguise - then the BLOOD on those clothes would also have been obvious. Not to mention completely disgusting - really - think about it - you just engage in the brutal, bloodthirsty act of chopping off someone's head, and you didn't really WANT to do it, but God made you - and now you're going to put those blood soaked clothes on your own body?
It's such a disgusting story that the only way anyone can accept it is if it's part of their religious beliefs. Oh, it's OK for God to tell a human being to chop off someone else's head and then dress up in their clothes, because it's part of MY religion. But when God tells someone from a DIFFERENT religion to chop off someone's head, well, then, that's a whole different story.
