My opinion is that the rampaging mob wouldn´t just go for one meta, but
for all they can catch. I didn´t make it a Street Challenge because it
seems improbable that one Duncan would be able to automatically trash
scores of people rushing at him from several directions - they won´t
give much for his Lone Star badge if they´re in rage in the first place.
