In the Media section, it says she spoke about her escape attempt in 1979, but this isn't addressed in the Trial and Imprisonment section. Can anyone provide a good source on this attempt, i.e. date of the attempt, how long she was out, how she was recovered, etc.? 67.8.203.16 ( talk) 20:01, 5 November 2020 (UTC)
When and how did she get the last name Moore? Assume it was from one of the 4 marriages, but article doesn't say. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Venqax ( talk • contribs) 18:01, 5 September 2018 (UTC)
All that section belongs to wiki-quote and should be removed from the main article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.153.163.5 ( talk) 03:59, 8 March 2017 (UTC)
This article makes it sound like she made staged the assassination attempt in order to re-establish her cover as an FBI agent. If that is the case, why is she in prison? I'm confused! -- Rebroad 15:57, 21 Nov 2004 (UTC)
"In order to carry out a plot she planned with a radical organization and prove herself with her radical friends"
I suspect the source for that statement is either from her June 1976 Playboy Magazine Interview or Steven Weed's book. It's been a while since I read either one, but it would be nice if this assertion were either sourced or expressed as conjecture rather than stated as established fact.
That statement you refer to is difficult to source. The Playboy interview was never carefully "fact checked" and I'm not sure it could have been. The writer interjected a lot of his own impressions and then presented them as Sara Jane's. In reality, she did not shoot at President JUST to get attention from her friends. There was a lot more to it than that. Most of what went on in the early and middle 70's was heavily controlled by Washington as it was just after the Viet Nam War was finishing, the Zebra Murders, Patty Hearst kidnapping etc. The government did not want the public to know how close Ford came to being killed, so they encouraged a lot of false publicity.

The comment regarding Hearst and PIN that states it was founded to "answer" the SLA's "claim" is totally inaccurate. Hearst was EXTORTED by the SLA into creating PIN lest his daughter be murdered. The way it reads now, it makes it sound like the SLA merely suggested he become more philanthropic, and he concurred....it gives the impression that the kidnapping and PIN are somewhat unrelated. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.184.237.133 ( talk) 21:19, 8 October 2007 (UTC)
The article mentions that she had a parole hearing on September 21, 2007? I find no mention of this elsewhere. Did it occur and, if so, what was the outcome? -- Drmike 22:39, 8 October 2007 (UTC)
This whole passage is illogical. Sara Jane Moore's arm, and shot was deflected by Oliver Sipple, the gay ex-Marine. Was she using some special gun that could be deflected, and still hit the target? VERY SLOPPY WRITING. Fester Bestertester, Esq. 04:49, 6 November 2007 (UTC)
I removed the following text, and just left in the link to Assassins. If this stuff (quotes from lyrics, discussion of plot structure) properly belongs on WP at all, it is certainly within a discussion of the musical, not at this page.
Moore is portrayed as a flaky accident-waiting-to-happen who can't wield a gun properly; in the "Gun Song" (the only song she sings outside of the Assassins as a group) when she "squeezes her little finger to change the world" along with the boys, hers goes off although theirs do not, and in "Everybody's Got the Right" the Proprietor reminds her "Don't forget that guns can go boom," when she accidentally aims hers at him. Along with Fromme, she serves as a bit of comic relief before major events in the musical, such as Charles Guiteau's assassination of James Garfield. [1]. The interactions between Moore and Fromme presented in the musical, which include smoking marijuana and firing off pistols at a bucket of fast food, are entirely fictitious, however.

The following:

is a misquote. Nowhere in the interview does she say, "I don't regret trying." She did regret trying. Watch the video and this can be confirmed. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.229.241.171 ( talk) 07:04, 24 July 2010 (UTC)
