Part 4/9:
As a protective barrier grew around Jenkins, O'Neal knelt beside her, asking if she was okay, solidifying a bond of empathy and humanity in an otherwise dehumanizing situation. The crowd, now roaring with unity, demanded justice for Jenkins, solidifying O'Neal’s role not just as a protector, but as a catalyst for a meaningful change.
Eventually, after mounting pressure from both Shaquille and the crowd, Callahan released Jenkins. Her pride, though slightly tarnished, remained intact as Shaquille assisted her back onto her feet.
"Take care of each other," O'Neal said to the crowd, marking the moment as the beginning of a larger movement.
