A Mississippi woman believed to work at a Subway restaurant created a social media firestorm Sunday after posting messages online that applauded the deaths of two police officers killed in the line of duty the night before.

The Laurel woman who uses the name Sierra C-Babi Mccurdy wrote 'Two police officers shot tonight in Hattiesburg,' followed by 'GOT EM' and a gun pointed at the words as well as laughing emoji.

Because the woman was wearing what appeared to be a Subway uniform in one of her photos, the Clarion-Ledger reports, thousands of tweets and Facebook posts demanding a response from the Subway company began to almost instantly to appear.

Mccurdy's post immediately sparked outrage and calls for a boycott of her apparent employer

'Wow. This piece of trash was celebrating the death of 2 policeman in #Hattiesburg. Your employ, @subway. #Classy'

However, some, like @TheNathanCook, urged a nationwide boycott of the sandwich shop chain. He tweeted:

'I will no longer eat at @SUBWAY due to the comments of an employee at a Laurel, MS location. #Subway should be ashamed. #Hattiesburg.'

'We can turn this bxtch into Baltimore real quick,' she posted on Facebook. 'Police take away innocent people lives everyday now & get away w/ it, fxck them…[no mercy],' she said.

No doubt the brunt of thousands of nasty messages, Mccrudy has made both her Facebook and Instagram accounts private.

The deaths of Benjamin Deen, 34, and Liquori Tate, 25- the first such slayings to hit Hattiesburg in three decades - were felt far and wide in this small southern Mississippi city.

I swear to God: After reading the headline, but before opening this thread, I thought to myself "these 'mass calls' are going to be some Tweets", and sure enough, that's what it is. No one should care about Internet comments from random people, be it the woman who made the stupid comment, or the people blabbing on about boycotting Subway.
