Cabbie went right by the black guy and stopped for me.
Black guy came running up and slashed his tire and then ran off.
I was like “cabby deserved it, but at the same time black guy justified it.”

Not really a justified decision if it was the wrong one. The cabbie got his tires slashed by being a dickhead. If he’d have not been a racist, he would’ve had no problems. This is like the guy in the meme who puts a metal pole in his bike spokes. Cabbie caused his own problems.

Justifying is the wrong word to use but I understood what they meant. But you have to think about it in isolation for it to make sense.
