(WSB Radio) -- Cobb County police say the teenagers charged with attacking cyclists on the Silver Comet Trail may be involved in other crimes. Further, investigators say there may be additional victims.

The robberies occurred last month on the popular biking and jogging trail near where it passes under Austell Road.

The four youths would block the path, then knock the rider off the bike and go through his pockets, according to Sgt. Dana Pierce.

Isaac Lee Kemp, 17, of Douglasville, is being held on $25,000 bond. He is charged as an adult with aggravated assault and robbery.

The three others are juveniles ages 14 and 15 from Austell, Mableton and Douglasville and have been released to their relatives, said.

  • Denise, you're insane
    I cannot believe you would seriously try to defend those violent sociopathic thugs. I will not rescind my statement. The truth is the truth. All you have to do is look for the baggy sagging pants, the oversized white t-shirts, the penguin walk, the thumping "music," the cars with huge cartoonish wheels, and folks who can't speak proper English but rather babble out ebonics, to see that I'm right. Those kids weren't playing around. Get real! It will be a bad day for those type of kids if that's their idea of playing around, because I have my concealed carry permit ... and I carry my piece, clip fully loaded. They attack me, and like I said, I don't shoot to harm, I shoot to kill to defend my life. You need to open your eyes to reality, and quit defending such reprehensible behavior.
  • This is REDICOULUS!!!
    They havent dune this before this was the first time!!!well dis is bull i dnt believe those boy's had any intention of hurting anybody they didn't do it to hurt anybody they were just playing around and they only were pplayin around once and they did berrely hurt the man isaac should not be in jail n the other 3 boy's should get in any trouble either that old man is making this a bigger thing than it really is!!!!! Now these boy's have to go through all this bull because they were just playing around!!! they didn't even take anything, and why would they try to take 5 dollars, come on 5 dollars or soo that is redicoulus!!! THAT MAN IS OVER EXADURATING!!!!! he rowened 4 boy's lives and speciouly isaac's!!!!! and they didnt rouwen anything that old man didnt even get hurt he was over exadurating and they ARENT PUNKS OR THUGS OR BASTERTES OR NO GOD DAMN GHETTO TRASH< JASONR U BETTA TAKE THAT BACK!!!!!!!! N isaac doesnt have any other criminal records either!!!!
  • This is sad
    I've been jogging at the SCT for several years now at the start point that passes under Hwy 92. I've always felt relatively safe and notice a patrol nearly every time I'm there. But this is getting sad. I don't know if I'm going to carry my piece just yet, but maybe my 4.5" blade razor sharp knife. But if these kids are carrying guns, I have no choice but to carry mine as well and I won't hesitate to shoot-to-kill if I'm ever assaulted, regardless of their age. And I'm a damn good shot under pressure. Geez, I'm ready to move to Union Hill, AL and get away from this ghetto trash moving into Douglasville and Hiram. It's so sad.
  • Saftey on Comet
    I have been riding the trail for years we no trouble. On 9-13-08 I was jumped by 3 teens near mile marker 18. I thought it couldn't happen to me a male over 6 foot. I was knocked over and onto the ground by a large stick to the face. Stuck on the ground still clipped in. Was stomped and beat with sticks. I will never ride alone on the trail.
  • in responce...
    Sure, that's what you need. Everyone walking around with guns. Who care's if some innocent pays the price for an errant round.

    ==============================
    Sir, those are the words of a liberal gun hater and an fearmonger.

    Anyone with a CCW who has no training, (I train 8 hours a month, apporx 600-1000 rounds) is a fool. If you have a CCW get training and keep it up. Your life may well depend on it as well as others.
    Real life isnt' TV. No training? Dont carry!!!

    Join the NRA and Georgia carry.org. They will gladly guide you to classes.
    Serious gun owners know what to do and how to do it. As the Son of and brother of x2 of a LEO's, I take this seriously, as a US Army Ranger, I dont play. If I draw my weapon I intend to kill. Assulted; sounds like you need training, but being liberal, you might not be able to handle reality and what goes with it. Stay at home or get real.
    O, thats right, your a liberal. In that case your tea party with Nancy Pelosi is on for Saturday. Harry is bringing the Kool Aide. Drink up!
  • Records?
    How much you wanna bet lil' Isaac has a previous criminal record? Sure he's in jail now, but the judge will let him out. These people don't even fear being caught because they don't get sentenced. I'm packing heat from now on.
  • silver comet trail
    when one of these thugs are shot that will put a halt to the robberies for a good while, and with the new law, it will happen THANK GOD!!!
  • Oh....great.
    We finally get some nice things going on the south end of the county, and these little punks ruin it for everyone.

    Let me get this right, these kids have (are suspected) an extensive history of doing this and three of them got sent home to their MOMMIES?

    In that case, I say charge the parents, too.
  • Trail safety
    In response to;
    CCW holders bring your weapons. I heard a Cobb Police spoksman say yesterday on WSB say that they cant be everywhere and to "protect yourselves".
    These punks will think twice once a few citizens pull a gun on them and it makes the news. The AJC wont print it because it shows gun protection in a good light. They are ultra left and want guns banned in Atl. The lies spouted by their editorial staff come out all the time. They will lie outright and mislead the public on a regular basis. They dont care if it's a lie, they just follow the socalist democratic party line to the letter. It's sick. It's all about the party agenda spin and never about the truth.


    Sure, that's what you need. Everyone walking around with guns. Who care's if some innocent pays the price for an errant round.
    The problem with that metropolitan area is that there is no true cohesive governtmental leadership. No continuity from city to suburb to suburb. And a populace that cares more about making statements than actually getting something done.
  • And thats why....
    ...you bring a taser or gun with you on that trail. Little bastards deserve everything they get.
  • Trail safety
    Another strong example of why the law abiding citizens of this state need to be able to protect themselves! Where were the police? They can't be everywhere so we should take the responsibility to defend and protect ourselves!

  • Silver Comet Trail
    Got attacked last August by 3 kids. One got caught by the cops right away with a handgun when they responded. Sounds like they just passed the torch on to others. One of the big reasons I decided I wouldn't stay in the Atlanta area. One of the worst urban areas I have ever been to. I feel far safer anywhere in Chicago.
  • SCT Safety
    I believe there should be cameras placed along the trail. And, Harsh penalties for those that are caught, regardless of how young they are. The juveniles should not be sent home but should have been incarcerated. Where's the tough love? Also, there are so many entry points along the trail for criminals to stalk potential victims. I feel very vulnerable, most of the trail is isolated and hidden from public view which is what makes it great to be outside and then terrifying if you sense danger. Even the more public areas can be isolated at certain times of the day. I noticed a lady taking her bike into the restroom. And I don't blame her. I love to ride my bike on the trail it's really awesome. I will never ride alone there again, I don't feel safe. I finally saw three patrolling policemen yesterday for the first time(my 3rd visit). Where are the safety experts and what is the plan? We've had some VERY unfortunate incidents, let's not have anymore.
  • siver comet trail
    I have been hiking for years. Thanks to our Rep Tim Bearden I can now carry a weapon to protect myself and my family. If these thugs think you are armed they will not bother you.
