gawk

One beautiful evening, a dozen people were gawking at the LAV-25 armored vehicles.

Visitors strolling Hollywood Boulevard stopped to gawk at the gathering, which blocked two lanes of eastbound traffic in the busy tourist area.

“We were also used to having protection; now anyone can just come in and gawk.”

But whether spectators were there to pay their respects to someone they admired or to gawk at the cortège for another one of Hollywood’s dead blondes is its own question.

Some tourists are just people on vacation there to gawk, while others are influencers there for content.
