CARDIFF, Wales — He was born in Singapore, but his family moved back to Britain when he was a child. He had family problems and was known by locals as belligerent and aggressive, with a drinking problem. He had Muslim neighbors, who described his behavior as fairly unremarkable, and his children had Muslim friends.
No one on the cul-de-sac in Cardiff, Wales, where Darren Osborne, 47, lived could readily explain what he is believed to have done: rented a van, driven it 150 miles to London and plowed into a crowd of Muslims as they finished prayers at the Finsbury Park Mosque early Monday.
Numerous residents here said that Mr. Osborne was often agitated, even disturbed, but few described him as frightening and none said he had expressed political sentiments, much less anti-Muslim or far-right ones — until last weekend, when he was kicked out of a local pub, the Hollybush, after a drunken tirade.
“My son was at the pub on Saturday night and said he got kicked out because he was scribbling all over the tables and shouting racist comments about Pakistanis and Muslims,” a resident, Ross Johnson, said outside the pub on Tuesday.

No need to throw your life away over that.. ain't he ever heard of the internet?
““I stopped working with him because he had anger problems. One day, he came in stinking of booze and sweat and started shouting his mouth off throwing tools. I haven’t seen him in a while, but my mate said he’s been sleeping out in the woods in a tent because his lady kicked him out the house.””
“ain’t he ever heard of the internet?”
I doubt he had internet service.
His old lady kicked him out of the flat and he was living in a tent in the woods.
Why is the author from the nytimes allowed to be posted here when Breitbart authors are banned?
Hmmm , Osborne ?
Darren Osborne has solved his drinking problem and his homelessness problem.
Which ones?
Which Breitbart authors? I see Breitbart stories on FR all the time.

Oh, no.. that is false.
It is FR POLICY that he is a banned author, the Moderators have nothing to do with it.
You see.. he got his fat butt hurt and proceeded to trash FR all over the place.
Why Is Free Republic's Jim Robinson Attacking Conservative Bloggers?
He trashed FR and Jim and everybody here.
And you wonder why he isn't welcome?
He also posted a thread here with a bunch of lunatic crap in it, and got laughed off the forum.

Who needs a nut like that around, and why should we support him?
Not a “good combination” to be sure: Drunk to forget his troubles and angry over a growing number of Brits being alley-yak-bar’ed by a growing number of savages who have been welcomed into civilized society by his government.

Maybe, but allegedly he was ranting about Muslims prior to the attack.
I imagine he is headed to the terrorist wing of a U.K. prison.
Well, at least he didn't plow into a bunch of Sikhs coming out of their temple this time. The Finsbury Park Mosque was Richard "Shoe bomber" Reid's old stomping grounds, supposedly now a "kindler, gentler" mosque under new management.
Ozzie?
