Right, like the NYT headline about how Sarkozy found the riots "unacceptable." What else would he say? "Rock on, dudes"?

Indeed. I guess reporters, in their role as stenographers to power, often just write the stuff down and spit it back. It's sometimes rather amusing, though.
On the other hand, if we hear of deployment of Légion étrangère to Paris, then we will both know he is serious and what form "severely punished" is likely to take.
