So, just because? No motive, like anger at the Internet provider?

North Carolina did not send their best or brightest.
NC was probably happy to be rid of these two.
I’m pretty sure drugs were involved somewhere along the way.

No motive Since no motive is given this tells us that the motive does not fit the Narrative. Therefore probably antifa terrorists…

Too bad they don’t have cell phone service, for if they did, people there would still have Internet access.

Were they looking for copper? I don't think you're going to find much copper in fiber-optic cables.
