Chicago criminal with 30 priors threatens to 'kill whites' with hammer on train

A Chicago man who threatened to kill white people while confronting a train passenger has been identified as Eric F. Vinson, a criminal repeat offender with at least 30 prior offenses. Vinson was caught on film throwing an expletive-filled anti-white tirade while wielding hammers as weapons. The maniac informed the passenger that he had been released from jail two days prior and was planning to "kill whites."

The conservative X account End Wokeness published video footage of the confrontation on Wednesday, and it has since gone viral on social media. The exact date of the video recording was not revealed in the post.

The shocking clip captures Vinson in the act on the Red Line train. "I'm killing whatever's white on the- I ain't lyin' about sh*t, I see it b*tch," he aggressively said to a passenger, who was recording Vinson on video at the time.

"I just got robbed by dyke white bitches," he continued. "Every black b*tch and n*gger that kiss a** to the white folks imma kill them for real. Imma kill your b*tch a** for real right now...And I just got out of the state bill penitentiary two days ago. Imma kill for real. I'll be solving the white Holocaust, where they're at imma solve it in my positive way."

Court records show that Vinson, a convicted felon, has been arrested dozens of times for assault, with individuals on X reporting that most of the attacks have occurred on the Chicago Transit Authority (CTA) train system. He's allegedly known in the community as a "career CTA assaulter."

The video was released just days prior to the CTA's March 19 deadline to submit its Revised Security Enhancement Plan to the Federal Transit Administration or jeopardize up to $50 million in federal funding, according to reports. The CTA came under investigation by the Trump administration after an increase in unchecked criminal activity on its train system.

Following the November 2025 arrest of Lawrence Reed, a criminal repeat offender with 72 priors who allegedly set a woman on fire aboard the train, the Trump administration ordered the CTA to crack down on crime. According to the report, the federal government required the Chicago Transit Authority to submit a new action plan after the initial one was rejected. The request included a 75 percent increase in monthly policing hours, a 34 percent increase in transit patrols by Chicago police officers, expanded mental health outreach, high-barrier fare gates, and tighter coordination with prosecutors.

The incident has spurred fresh debate over the impact of Democratic criminal justice reform and soft-on-crime prosecutors, a topic on which President Trump campaigned as part of his commitment to restore safety to American communities.
