Raynor has just left Hobbiton.

Has Boromir read the Athrabeth? Because if not, I've read about Boromir and the history and Customs of Gondor.
Again, who has asked Boromir to kill? Your comparison to Faramir is false so far, because you still haven't provided any qualifications of threats that would justify killing. As regards to the Athrabeth, it is said in Letter #156 that the exiled Numenoreans kept "the knowledge of the True God", so I doubt Boromir was alien to such concepts. I am not aware in anything in the customs of Gondor that justifies killing as accessory to theft. While a fallen tyrant like Denethor might not have a problem with that, it still doesn't make it right.
