the shooting took place in a gated community—one that has tried to protect itself from those who are “other.” Had the community ever provided George Zimmerman, a volunteer community watchman, any guidance or instruction on how to represent his community creatively on such occasions?

I'm thinking a graceful interpretive dance might have diffused the situation.

Or possibly defused it. Although I like your version better, implies the audience wandering vaguely off in all directions.

I just figured out why I’m afraid to laugh at your comment.
Because I think I could never stop.

I’m warning you.
IN the future, I will be using a ‘g/raceful interpretive dance’ in some comment somewhere.
My tongue remains anchored so I will live for now.

Thank you sir, you made my month.
(which thankfully has one more day)

Yes, a graceful interpretive dance - I’m sure it would have made a difference....

Maybe second thoughts about the dance...

Trayvon Martin was suspended from school several times. He was caught ‘tagging‘ a door with “WTF.” Trayvon was caught with a bag full of women’s jewelry and a screw driver. The Miami Herald reported:

The Miami Gardens teen who has become a national symbol of racial injustice was suspended three times, and had a spotty school record that his family’s attorneys say is irrelevant to the facts that led up to his being gunned down on Feb. 26.

In October, a school police investigator said he saw Trayvon on the school surveillance camera in an unauthorized area “hiding and being suspicious.” Then he said he saw Trayvon mark up a door with “W.T.F” — an acronym for “what the f—.” The officer said he found Trayvon the next day and went through his book bag in search of the graffiti marker.

Instead the officer reported he found women’s jewelry and a screwdriver that he described as a “burglary tool,” according to a Miami-Dade Schools Police report obtained by The Miami Herald.
