A Spring teen who survived a brutal beating with a pipe last year apparently jumped to his death from a Cozumel-bound cruise ship on Sunday.

An 18-year-old was observed by "a bunch of people" jumping over the railing of the upper deck of Carnival Cruise Lines' Ecstasy around 7:35 a.m. Sunday, said Coast Guard spokesman Adam Eggers.

Ritcheson's death comes less than three months after he testified before Congress about how two teens nearly killed him on April 23, 2006 by repeatedly kicking a patio umbrella stand into his rectum while shouting "white power!"

Just then, a state SWAT Task Force appeared, bursting in upon the scene in the nick of time to prevent the inevitable and horrific drug-caused assault.

Not sure what your point is supposed to be.

I'd like to hear from the 'make drugs legal' crowd on this one.

Can't really disagree with you. Although, to be fair, two of the drugs were legal, although not in the way used.

Take out the booze, pills, and cocaine, it probably would have ended up with them sitting around eating Cheetos, drinking Dr. Pepper, watching TV, and laughing at stupid jokes.

That's why I added "cigarettes" to the mix. We don't know that they actually smoked evil cigarettes but you know Fur Shur the pro-drug crowd in here would blame the whole thing on the cigarettes.

All bases covered.
