Rex Heuermann has shown ‘no remorse' since his arrest: Pal
Rex Heuermann has been in jail for almost two years, during which he has shown no remorse for his seven alleged victims, The Post has learned.
The one-time architect, 61, stands accused of murdering sex workers between 1993 and 2011 and dumping their bodies along Ocean Parkway in Long Island.
His friend who visited him in jail, David Jimenez, 63, says he wouldn't give him details about the alleged crimes, but also showed no emotion for anyone beside himself.
7 Rex Heuermann is a 'momma's boy' and had a strange relationship with his mother, according to sources.

'I personally think he disconnects one [personality] from the other and has no remorse.
'I think he's got a split personality. I literally said to him, 'I'm looking at you eye-to-eye and I know you. And this is like, there's somebody else sitting next to me that committed these crimes,' Jimenez said.
'And it's like a dark side of you, psychopathic, Machiavellian. It's sadistic'.'
Heuermann – who has pleaded not guilty to all charges against him – still has to stand trial and his wife, Asa Ellerup, maintains he is not a serial killer.

However, Jimenez — who also works in architecture — feels his ex-pal is resigned to his fate.
'He knows intellectually he's lost all his life, everything. I remember him calling me and saying from the correctional facility, 'Are you interested in taking my building code books, my historic ones? So, he realizes he's never going to use them again.'
Jimenez also feels Heuermann won't admit to anything because he wants to watch the trial unfold and all the gory details to be poured over once again in open court.

'I think [the trial] is the last time he feels in any kind of control over anything. Why not just either admit it and ask for help, or admit it and ask for forgiveness?
'Even though you can never bring back those lives and you've destroyed, why go through trial? Because he's going to put the family through this and expose all these ugly things.'
Jimenez also recognizes that, like all high-profile killers, hulking 6' 4' Heuermann is going to have a target on his back as far as other inmates are concerned due to the nature of his alleged crimes, if he is sent to prison.
'[He] will be a target in prison. Maybe not right away, but over the years, he's going to be a target and somebody will want to take his life.'

Adams ties arson attack on NYPD vehicles to LA riots— but link unconfirmed: sources
Mayor Eric Adams claimed that the masked firebug who torched nearly a dozen NYPD vehicles in Brooklyn Thursday morning was linked to the violent anti-ICE riots in Los Angeles – but sources told The Post there is little to back up that assertion. 'We have reasons to believe the person who participated in this act is connected to some of the protests that [are] taking place in Los Angeles and throughout the entire country,' Adams told reporters of the arson, which took place in a Bushwick lot about a block from the 83rd Precinct stationhouse. Hizzoner would not elaborate further on how that connection was established, but said 'there's a clear indication that someone that had firsthand knowledge of this and taking credit for it, and that's going to be part of our investigation.' Sources, however, say the mayor was referring to a screed posted on X announcing the arson, and listing the top motive as 'solidarity with the uprising happening in Los Angeles where community and rebels are fighting Amerikkan pig forces.' 'From one cop city to another, death to the pigs and the surveillance state,' the poster wrote. But the legitimacy of that post – and whether the writer actually took part in the LA riots – has not been confirmed, poilce sources said A total of 11 vehicles were damaged and 14 were impacted in the early-morning fires, but thankfully no injuries were reported, Adams said.

Man fled cops on mule, later released raccoon in bar he was banned from, KY cops say
A Kentucky man accused of taking police on a chase while riding a mule was arrested after police said he released a raccoon into a bar he was banned from. Around 9:15 p.m. June 6, the Murray Police Department was called for reports of a man who intentionally released a raccoon into a business, according to a June 10 Facebook post by police. Police found the 40-year-old man driving his car and pulled him over, but he refused to roll his window down for officers, police said. They then removed him from his vehicle, according to police. Mary Hafner, a bartender who works at the business, told the New York Post the man had already been drinking when he showed up, and he was asked to leave since he was previously banned from the bar. That's when the man decided to release the raccoon, police said. 'Apparently he had trapped a raccoon earlier in the day on his farm and he had been carrying it around with him,' Hafner told The Post. Police learned the raccoon bit someone inside. 'It was more scared than anything,' Hafner told the New York Post. 'It was pretty upsetting for him.' The man was arrested and charged with assault, criminal trespassing, resisting arrest and failure of owner to maintain required insurance. The man was involved in an incident at the same bar in December involving a mule, according to WDKY. On Dec. 7, police were called to the bar for an 'unruly individual,' a Dec. 9 Facebook post by police said. The man was asked to leave but wouldn't, police said. When police arrived, the man was drunk and on a mule he had ridden to the bar, according to officers. Police ordered him to stop, but he refused, the release said. Eventually, the man was arrested and witnesses told police they saw the man 'whip the mule at a different establishment an 'unnecessary amount' of times,' police said. The man was taken to jail and the mule was stabled. However, two days later, the man showed up drunk to where the mule was stabled and began riding it down the street, police said. Officers tried to stop him, but he took off on the mule and refused to stop, according to police. He was arrested.

Dems blame Trump, not rioters
Democrats don't seem to care about the criminal rap sheets of the illegal migrants ICE has been rounding up in Los Angeles. Apparently, convicted sex abusers, drug dealers and gang members all still somehow have a sacrosanct right to stay in the United States. And ICE efforts to take them into custody, per Mayor Karen Bass, 'sow terror in our communities and disrupt basic principles of safety in our city.' NY Post Deputy Editorial Page Editor Adam Brodsky shares this story.
