Enough fiddling, says Sarkozy

Fresh on the heels of their "burqa ban"... the Empire continues to strike back...

-- PARIS, July 30 (Reuters) -- President Nicolas Sarkozy said on Friday he wanted to strip French nationality from anyone of foreign origin who threatened the life of a police officer, in a crackdown after riots shook two French towns this month.

Speaking in Grenoble, where street violence erupted in mid-July after a local man died fleeing police after allegedly holding up a casino, Sarkozy said he also wanted to increase prison sentences for violent crimes.

Perhaps the French are simply getting tired of their annual Car-B-Q season...

"French nationality should be stripped from anybody who has threatened the life of a police officer or anybody involved in public policing."

Pity the French allowed things to get this far... but you do what you gotta do.
