RtothepowerofX — X Posts

@RtothepowerofX (account name David) occupies an unusual place in the coverage: it is both a poster cited in crowd-footage discussion and, per anonymous online researchers, the alleged handle of the crowd figure himself. Every link between the handle and any crowd figure is an unverified allegation by anonymous accounts. Being present in a crowd, or reacting to a shooting, is not evidence of involvement in any crime, and nothing on this page is a finding of wrongdoing against any living person.

Claims and appearances from X posts

  • The handle is cited in discussion of the Curly Hair Man — a crowd figure alleged to have turned toward the shooter's direction, stood when others ducked, and appeared to pump his fist in the air; the same figure is elsewhere identified as the USA-Chant Man, who reportedly said the chant was meant as a calming distraction. He has sent a message to this site's author asking that people know he did not cheer.
  • Crowd-sourced facial matching has tried to attach names to that figure — David Sprague, James Norman Rawlinson, Matt Tabernone confirmed by any reliable on-the-record source, with @RtothepowerofX cited online in connection with him.
  • The account posted a first-person statement responding to being identified in crowd footage — "every lie about me brings me one step closer to becoming very dead... I'm terrified for my family and sad for Charlie's too" — preserved at The Crowd Man's Own Post.
  • The handle appears among the commentary sources for The List of Distraction People (Claims).

Investigative value

This page exists mainly to keep the subject's own words next to the claims made about him. The identification chain is entirely anonymous crowd-sourcing; innocent explanations for the filmed behavior are at least as plausible, and the site does not vouch for any of the circulating names.

The only claimed inside-the-room account of the foreign lane closing: two unnamed sources said to have sat in a cabinet meeting six days after the killing. Anonymous, secondhand, and graded the weakest of three strands.

Frame-by-frame composites catalogued objects sitting on a surface that was excavated and paved over four days later. Crushed water bottles under a shoe now survive only in photographs, which is the whole point.

The strongest form of the coordination reading of the "shoot me" outburst, kept next to the official position that the obstruction was real but uncoordinated. Documented as framing, never as a finding.

A dated chronology of geo-associated image searches for security and intelligence names, ramping into the days before September 10. Search geography cannot identify who searched, and the dataset is unverified here.

USA-Chant Man — Crowd Figure

Seconds after the shot a man in the crowd appears to chant "USA." He says he was not cheering, and the page keeps both the footage and his answer in view.

Eyewitnesses & On-Site Workers

The people who claim direct sensory contact with the shot or the shooter — a construction electrician who described a figure in black, a front-row witness who heard a pop rather than a rifle crack, a videographer reportedly told to delete his 4K footage.

Witness Reliability Issues

Eyewitnesses anchor the narrative and also produce its worst timeline conflicts, so the page separates honest error from handling problems. Reported requests to delete video, withheld camera footage and a removed SD card affect authentication rather than honesty. No witness is accused of perjury here.
