Simple. This guy gets off the airplane, NOW. If the gate agent can't be bothered, get the police out there. The guy is likely intoxicated, has been verbally abusive to at least three passengers, and disrespectful to a flight attendant. Any of these are grounds for removal all by themselves ... all three together, no question you kick him off right now. In your position, I would have done whatever I could to let the FAs and the captain know about the situation. Like Doug said, up in the cockpit (even with the door open during boarding) between the various noises up there and our absorption in other tasks we are often blissfully ignorant of what happens in back until/unless someone brings it to our attention. I have a hard time imagining any captain would let someone fly after all this crap if he knew the whole story.
