    You can reply to her message seeing as she's initiated communications, saying you've no intention of defriending her at the moment as you don't know the background to the split (which may elicit an explanation), however that you do find it uncomfortable her friends wishing harm on your brother...

    I imagine her response will set the course of your future relationship with her, if any. I.e. is there any point still being friends now anyway? If you think so, at least you can make the point about the comments...

    Also, there is do nothing, however she has already messaged you, so in my opinion it is polite to reply and use it for the above opportunity to mention your unease over the situation.
    I hate it when you're reasonable.

      WTF?! Being friends on facebook with your siblings partners is totally normal.

        And complaining when they unfriend you after a break up?

          I didn't read that's as a complaint.

            To be clear, when I say that the ex is ranting about my brother, I mean the brother she had been dating for the last 5 months, not the brother who unfriended her.

              She tried to guilt him into not unfriending her after his other brother did.

                  Another option would be to write a robot to spam her timeline until she unfriends you.

                      I'd just be like "for a relationship of 5 months, seems like there is a distinct amount of overinvestment in it. Did you two even have sex?"

                          Do nothing. If you absolutely must post then just say you're sorry to hear they broke up and leave it at that.

                          Her friends are just saying normal things to display their sympathy for her. Just let it go and realize it isn't really your business.

                            She sounds like a real drama queen.
                            If there is no sound in space, how come you can hear the lasers?

                              I say unfriend her.
                              Why unfriend her? She might have other lady friends who are worth ****ing. Just saying.

                                This is my thinking as well, but I'd honestly just save myself the drama and remove her from my friends list.
