Good question... What is the importance of the the history of the jews between the Jaredites leaving and Nephites leaving? That would justify the cold blooded Murder?
So they could take it with them. and how did he find the plates of Ether once he got there?

Tobin wrote: Also, this wasn't a trial just for Nephi and company, it was for Laban as well. The Lord was trying him and he demonstrated the evil in his character. The Lord didn't force him to have a murderous intent towards Nephi and his brothers. He didn't make him celebrate his ill gotten gains in drunken debauchery. However, once he had fallen into his stupor and was ripe in inquity, the Lord passed judgement upon him as he will with us all. We either can see how far we are willing to fall or how close to the Lord we are willing to get. That us up to us, but the judgements of God will come regardless. There is no other explanation necessary.
Again Tobin demonstrates the danger of this kind of thinking. Most who think like him are not going to go out and murder and rape people, but some do. This is the kind of thinking of people who fly planes into buildings.
